A wiki would rock.
I'd be happy to donate enough to register a domain name and contribute
toward hosting for the wiki. I could set those things up myself, but
it would probably be better if there was a group that owned those
resources so that one person couldn't hold the data hostage some day
in the future when a disagreement arises.
Anyway, I'd be happy to contribute because my office benefits greatly
from having shared calendaring with DCS. I'm no guru at it though (I
decided to use Debian Lenny as a platform because it's in the
repositories and my previous attempts at a startup script failed), so
while I'd like to contribute back in some manner, I am cognizant of my
limitations. I can manage donations though. That's a snap.

I'm happy to contribute what I can but, while I have been a
sysadmin, what I did was 'to get it to work' and not necessarily
'the right way'. It would be helpful (I would say essential) to
have one of the dev's involved at least as an editor. I know they
don't have the time beyond that.

I second this... There are plenty of people out here trying to use
this - particularly on OS X Client edition - who aren't UNIX
Sysadmins and who need to be taken through the process step-by-step

If someone can get some clear instructions with the above provisos
in mind, then I am more than happy to knock them into shape as a
definitive guide for OSX (I was a professional technical author for
more than ten years)...
I think you'll find 90% of people using the calendar server are
doing so by using the "./run -d" development method, rather than
the correct implementation method (I haven't seen any instructions
anywhere that are any use as to how to do this). The "launchd" fix
doesn't work by the way...
I'm sure that in the true spirit of Open Source we can get this
into shape...
Cheers,
Jeremy.

Is there a Wiki or similar on which to find/contribute information
about installation of Calendar Server. It is definitely not an
easy system to install, even on OS X.
I've been running CalendarServer on 10.4 Server and 10.5 Client
for about 2 years. I recent had to upgrade to the latest release
(2.3) on the 10.5.8 client to maintain compatibility with the
iPhone 3.1 Here are a few issues I ran into for which I can find
no instructions, or what I did wrong which cause me to have to do
the following after running ./run -i /.
1) the PYTHONPATH declared in the /usr/local/bin/caldavd was
incorrect. It was "Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/:$PYTHONPATH"
instead of "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/:$PYTHONPATH" (note
the missing slash at the beginning). I remember this being a
problem 2 years ago and is still there.
2) After correcting item 1 the server would still not launch and
the errors showed that something was looking for /usr/share/
caldavd/bin/twistd. I could not find where this was coming from
so I solved this by 'ln -s /usr/local/bin /usr/share/caldavd'
3) The it still would not run. Looking at the logs again it was
looking for memcached which is not installed on 10.5 client. I
then downloaded and built memcached (and libevent which is
required by memcached).
Now things are running. I did a bunch of other things with the
log files locations/permissions which have changed (I think) but
they may also have been due to the above items being wrong/missing.
If there was wiki/FAQ to which to post these that would be
great. If this exists can you point me to it?
Cheers,
Scott
