Re: iCal Export Feeds error
It turns out the iCalendar specification is s little vague in this area. We export an all day event like August 25 in a format like this:

DTSTART: 08252010

However, Google expects to see it as
DTSTART: 08252010
DTEND: 08262010

To us (and others) this doesn't make sense. Saying the event ends on the 26th would rather seem like a 2-day event taking place of Aug 25-26.

But this is how Google interpreted the spec for All Day events (other events should work fine). We are looking into a way to accomodate everyone, whether they are using Google, Outlook, or another calendar program.
