Description
I've been thinking about adding support for VJOURNAL entries to khal. AFAICT these are almost the same as VEVENT, the main difference being that they are implicitly FREE and TRANSPARENT. So it seems that this would mostly need a few UI tweaks to show/hide journal entries in agenda views and maybe allow editing long DESCRIPTIONs in an external editor.
Is there interest in having this in mainline?
(Since many CalDAV servers don't allow pushing VJOURNALs by default a nice extra would be to have a setting to create "compatible" journal entries which are VEVENTs with an X-flag to indicate that these are actually journal entries. KOrganizer has a pretty nice UI for VJOURNALs so there's some benefit to having real ones though.)

Research direction
Start by tracing khal’s existing VEVENT handling and agenda views, then review how long DESCRIPTION values are edited. Done would require a settled VJOURNAL design, including whether to support compatible VEVENT entries, with tests covering the chosen behavior.
