OK, so it sounds like (coupled with the above) the CalDAV-based calendar is a mostly read-only view, users would update their own local calendars and publish events to the server. Have I got that correctly? May I assume that I can connect to a CalDAV calendar using the WebDAV option in Evolution? If I can get this to work, I'm going to have to write a how-to unless there's another one out there I'm missing. Is there a central doc/FAQ repository for that? -Don _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
