# 
[KevinMarks] The h-event is a simpler version based on use in practice
# btrem But iCalendar is a way to list mulitiple events. So if hCalendar is iCalendar, and hCalendar became h-event, but h-event is for one event. Has there been any interest in a mf for iCalendar?
# btrem Sorry, [KevinMarks] as is so often the case with irc, we talked past each other.
# btrem So I get that h-event was simplified to match practice. But has there ever been any interest in a collection of h-events?

# [KevinMarks] lok `t https://events.indieweb.org/ for an example of an h-feed of h-events
# [KevinMarks] I'm not quite sure how the ics conversion works there
# btrem It wouldn't necessarily have to map 1:1 to ics.
# btrem But I don't think I get the difference between a collection and a feed.
# btrem The h-feed on my home page shows more than one h-entry. I generate by gather a collection of articles. That's all I mean.
# btrem But maybe there's something I'm missing.
# [KevinMarks] h-feed has some feed-level information defined, and there is an existing assumption fo being able to subscribe to one, and tools that do that
# btrem I think some sort of feed for events might help create a workable opening-hours specification.
# btrem Maybe a new type, as I suggested on the wiki today: h-feed-events. Or maybe some way to modify the existing h-feed to be a feed of something else. A property p-feed-type that could be h-entry (the default, so no need to specify it), or h-event, or...
# btrem I found an issue on GitHub about feed types and commented there. (Well, there are actually two different issues. Hopefully, my comment won't get lost.)
