I guess this will be a separate application / helper etc in any case, or is there a way to
trigger the migration when installing a newer version?
No deadline for this in my scedule yet, however ....
Sounds good.
What about upgrades, do you plan to provide a migrator ?
(I would love to see my old calendars converted to new style ;))

Another great feature of nested space based calendar: you can watch a
single calendar just by watching its page instead of having to watch
eveything.
Proposal:
a) there is already a "stable-2.5" branch.
all fixes and improvements for pre-nested spaces will/should go on this branch
b) master will switch its xwiki platform dependency from 5.4 to 7.4.2
(not 7.2 for me, because 7.4.2 is what I am willing to test against ... any takers to
test with 7.2 ?)
c) for now, the old "parent-child" relationship will still be used to
determine which events belong to which calendar
so no migration from pre-nested spaces is really necessary - at least I think so. Of
course this should be tested.
(It would be nice to have such migration, of course. I am not sure how to write this,
however.)
Any opinions? Should I send an official [vote] request?
