Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
In Evolution, there is an "On this computer" type for all types of data;
calendars, mail folders, tasks, notes and contacts. It's quite common
for people to share the same computer, either physically, or using a
terminal server such as LTSP or NX. It should be easy to enable users to
share their data with other users via the filesystem. At least in read-
only mode. I'm not sure it would be a good idea to let several users
have write access at the same time, but even being able to just view
another users data would be of great value to lots of users. If Mother
just wants to see if Father has time to pickup Child, it'd be overkill
to invest in a MS Exchange server or something like that.
Solution, add a "Select calendar" button to the dialog that appears when
you create a new calendar "On this computer". The filesystem permissions
will decide if one can write to it or not. Shared data is located in
/home/evolution-share, for instance. It shouldn't be more complicated
than that?
