Hi,

While documenting the groupware functionality, I noticed that the schedule 
menu is totally broken on head. I tested all menu items. The only function 
that does something is publishing, but it does not allow you to select the 
recipients.

Also, it appears that few people is missing this functionality anyway: there 
were very few complains (none at bugs.kde.org). The reason is that with 
"Groupware communication" enabled in the configuration, you hardly need to 
use any of the menu items (with the exception of publishing, and that could 
go to "actions", maybe), because you send the messages automatically.

As KOrg currently shows a menu that does nothing, the options are:
- Fix the menu items and show it always.
- Fix the menu items, but show it only when "Groupware communication" is 
unchecked (as messages are automatic). Keep publish somewhere.
- Remove the menu, with exception of Publish.

In the first cases, the names of the menu items should be reviewed: they are 
not very straightforward: they technical names  taken from the RFC 2446 / 
2447.  The functionality report, with suggestions for the names and what they 
should is attached.

Just to have some of the contents of the report here:

Menu item name:
From		To
Publish...	Forward incident...
Request	Send invitation to attendees
Refresh	Request update
Cancel	Send cancellation to attendees
Reply	Send status update...
Counter	Request change...

And order:

To:
Forward incident...
Send invitation to attendees
Send cancellation to attendees
Send status update...
Request incident update
Request change...

(Replace "incident" with "to-do" or "event" depending on the selected item.)
		 			
About sending and asking for free/busy info by e-mail manually: does anyone 
does that? Isn't it easier to simply ask? The Mail free/busy currently does 
nothing (even if it lets you select the mail addresses), and upload free/busy 
works.

I am also adding all this stuff as a bug report, so it won't be forgotten.

Cheers,
