Restart of ical.net

[axunonb]

@rianjs, the founder of the ical.net project, and @axunonb have successfully transitioned ical.net to a new home under the new GitHub organization ical-org. After a period of inactivity, ical.net is set to be revitalized.

With over 15 million downloads on nuget.org, including 7 million for the latest version 4.2.0 alone, ical.net boasts a broad user base. In recent years, some DevOps have developed their own forks of ical.net and released NuGet packages. We hope, they'll come back ical.net in this project..

We aim to continue these various efforts and further enhance ical.net under ical-org.

Moving the repository to ical-org will not result in any significant changes: the MIT license still applies, and the package on nuget.org remains unchanged.

Additionally, @rianjs will continue as a maintainer of ical.net, providing support as his time allows. We extend our heartfelt thanks to him for his many years of dedication in shaping ical.net into a wonderful project.

If you have suggestions or want to provide code, you're very welcome.

I just wanted to tell you guys thank you so very much for reviving this.

Right around the time of release of .NET 5, I had a project that needed to utilize RRULEs and found this library. However, at the time, it didn't support .NET 5 and I needed to use someone's fork.

A few weeks ago (years later), another project I'm on was investigating the use of designing recurring patterns and we specifically decided to try cron expressions since this project wasn't alive.

The other day, we found that cron wouldn't support our use case, and seeing that this was alive again was like "a sign." We're going back to RRULEs, baby!!

Again, I can't thank you enough.
