So what calendar server can Evolution *write* to?  If it can't write
to the calendar server then it makes Evolution totally redundant
in this sort of situation doesn't it?

I can see no point at all in running Evolution to handle personal
calendars, tasks etc. and then having to use a *different* system to
handle shared tasks.
