(I use the OSAF suite and it seems to work fine)Pete, thanks for the info and please bear with me on this... The eventual goal is for both my wife and I to maintain a central calendar of our appointments and commitments, and for the kids. I'm trying to standardise on Evolution if at all possible. What I'd like to be able to do is for each of us to be able to enter appointments on our own computers, using the Evolution local calendar. Evolution will allow us to publish free/busy information to a central location on a regular basis (daily) as well as manually. Since the calendars will overlay, we can view the central calendar as well as local, make changes to local, and have them update central. I can host the ICAL file myself, but it looks like I'll need server software to make updates possible.
Yes, Evolution does not support sharing calendars via WebDAV, at this time. I shouldn't be too hard to add, but it would require a volunteer I guess.
It sounds like the CalDAV (is this like WebDAV?) would allow me to skip the publishing step and just maintain the central file - is that correct? If so, that would be even easier. OSAF has something called "Chandler"; is that what you're referring to? If so, I can try to install that on my server and access via Evolution.
Actually, Cosmo is the CalDAV server. But it is part of the same project. CalDAV is indeed like WebDAV. It is WebDAV with a number of calendar specific extensions. ./borup
