[kronolith] Shared Calendars

Quoting Pete Schwamb <pete@the-valley.org>:

Whatever ends up being officially implemented will no doubt include this.
Sounds good.

I have in mind a system prefix (_horde.holidays.us would be a potential
name, for example, using '.' as a delimiter), but again, we'll probably go
this way.

One of the things I want to work on soon is getting a better roadmap out
there of where I see Horde and its various apps going, so that people can
give better feedback on it and things aren't coming out of nowhere. I'll do
my best to get on that soon.

Want to contribute your news app, btw? :)
