+Calendar Export
+===============
+
+This addon makes it possible to export the events posted by your users being
+exported to other formats, so they can be imported into other calendar
+applications.
+
+Exporting a calendar is an _opt-in_ feature which has to be activated by each
+of the users in the _addon settings_. As the admin you can only provide the
+service but should not force it upon your users.
+
+The calendars are exported at
+
+	http://example.com/cal/username/format
+
+currently the only supported format is __ical__.
