QML Calendar API

There is some awesome calendar stuff living in branches right now. That however is the C++ side. We don't seem to have any "developer friendly" QML layer to use all it's abilities. I'd like to draft up a "QML API" to make the calendar data easily available in QML. This is for the "calendaring" branch: http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kdepim.git&a=shortlog&h=6854a4bb1b3843234ecc2ee9eb319585f56b84c9 Should we use a dataengine or a dedicated QML component?

We do already have the calendar engine: http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kde-workspace.git&a=tree&h=0c2732e5a4bcd5f508ed52b3c7967e452cc04931&hb=b01fae8966132826097a97237bbf6954ebad6732&f=plasma%2Fgeneric%2Fdataengines%2Fcalendar. Should that be extended or should we go for a dedicated QML component as API like so:

Calendar {
  id: todaysItemsFromX

  // If no date is provided, all entries will be returned
  day: QDateTime something..

  // Fetchtype determines which events to return. Enum with TodoEntries, EventEntries, YournalEntries, .... etc.
  fetchType: Calendaring.EventEntries

  // The calendar from which to fetch the entries. If none provided then it will fetch the requested entries from all available calendars.
  calendar: "x"

  // The model containing the data with the filters applied.
  model
}

Above is just a "braindump". I'd like to discuss this idea with some people at the sprint and implement it.
