Yes, that shouldn't be so hard.

No, you should rather use the import functions of the Data:: class instead. 
A first step would be to import a vCalendar file directly into Kronolith 
with the import interface. At next you have to write an api method for 
Kronolith to add events. You can then use this api method to import a 
vCalendar object from the mime viewer.

iCalendar is actually vCalendar 2.0 and backward compatible. So you should 
focus on iCalendar.
