Add all holiday calendars from Thunderbird?

[nclm]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I like the fact that we can add holiday calendars straight from Nextcloud, provided by Thunderbird.

Those are the choices in Nextcloud right now (about 56): https://github.com/nextcloud/server/assets/923008/2a6713da-1ac4-40f5-8054-d1808fcbeecd

However Thunderbird.net offers more calendars that that (about 86): https://github.com/nextcloud/server/assets/923008/64d172ec-228c-457e-ba67-9bd93e16a28d as can been seen on https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/calendar/holidays/

Describe the solution you'd like Include all calendars offered by Thunderbird in Nextcloud. Additionally, if there could be a way to automatically update the list in Nextcloud if Thunderbird adds or change their calendar, that would be useful to avoid differences like that in the future.

The list is currently manually maintained. It's located here:

https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar/blob/b2d23f855269ab34494701a9df1bcdbd9792a904/src/resources/holiday_calendars.json

It was just updated a few months ago. I'm not sure if some were left out at the time or if new ones have since been added @ Thunderbird.

Feel free to make some additions to it and submit them via a PR. :-)

Alright, it seems that https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar/blob/main/src/resources/holiday_calendars.json is simply a copy of https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-website/blob/master/media/caldata/calendars.json, which makes sense.

But Thunderbird is now using https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-website/blob/master/media/caldata/autogen/calendars.json since last year, with (more) calendars auto-updated every quarter from a “calendar provider”. If you are up for using these, replacing holiday_calendars.json with the contents of autogen/calendars.json could do the job (as long as Nextcloud can handle the extra fields (locale, language, updated).

Feel free to edit the file and push a PR :smile: you can even do it from github by going to https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar/blob/main/src/resources/holiday_calendars.json and clicking "Edit File" in the top right.
