0001-Change-calendar-source-string-From-Web-to-CalDAV-Web.patch

“From Web” doesn’t mean anything. Alternate phrases like “Sync with server” or “On a remote server” doesn’t really help clarify what source the user can add when selecting the menu option. The protocols CalDAV and WebDAV are more technical but at least they convey some meaning and potentially some recognition when users are referencing client configuration documentation from their calendar hosting provider.

The attached patch changes the string to “CalDAV/WebDAV”.

I'm not sure this is ok. User tests were able to prove that "From Web" made sense for low profile users, and I actually think this is what we meant when chose this wording.
