I'm finally getting back to something that's been on my to-do list for
awhile--setting up the cal server for my family to use. I know that
there are at least a few others out there who do something similar, so
I'm looking for feedback on how you've set it up.
I think I can fairly lay claim to the fact that my family is the first to
use CalDAV on the basis that we have been using it since 2005 in one guise
or another. I do actually run OS X server at home with CalDAV enabled.
Having shared calendars etc is the big benefit for us.
I'm trying to decide if I want to have an account--and, thus, potentially
multiple calendars--per person, or if I want to have just one account
with multiple calendars under that account. The advantage of the latter
layout is that it most accurately mirrors what we have right now. Access
control isn't a big issue, because right now it's only my wife and I
managing calendars related to ourselves and other members of the family.
I have separate accounts for each family member just because that's how the
server as a whole is setup for email, ichat etc. My wife and I are
read-write proxies for the kids (they are too young to use computers) and
we are each read-only proxies of each other. I also set up a family group
calendar (that is tied to the wikiserver feature on OS X server too) and
that has a calendar for public holidays (one for US, one for UK).
The whole setup works pretty well with the exception that we can't
currently sync the proxied calendars over to our respective iPhones.
The advantage of the former layout, though, is that it scales better for
the future (when kids manage their own calendars) and allows more
segregation of activities into different calendars. It also would allow
for kids to be able to manage their own calendars, but not change those
of the parents.
Yes.
I can manage the technical details pretty well on my own (so far), but am
looking for feedback on the administrative side of things. Any and all
help appreciated.
If you have or are going to have separate accounts for other things like
email, im etc, then I think it makes sense to stick with that for calendars
too - particularly if you can share the same authentication db etc.
