Right, we got similar feedback from BC100 users and DB employees.

Since a bit more than a week this is actually mostly implemented in Itinerary
(think "embedded KTrip"), it's not yet activated in the normal builds though as
it depends on the not yet released kirigami-addons module.

That's a good idea, we can already import from the calendar on Android, but so
far only events that were added by the KMail plugin, not those of other
apps/services.

Great idea as well! Onboard APIs have been on the list of things to look at,
but so far mainly as an additional data source for delay/disruption data. Using
that for adding data in the first place makes a lot of sense. There has been
some discussion on collecting and documenting these APIs together with other
interested parties: https://github.com/derhuerst/live-icomera-position/issues/3
