I've reviewed a fair bit of the documentation, and tinkered with several 
semi-distros that implement sogo - but none seem to have the ability I think 
will serve the best.

In short, shared calendars are a super-key feature. [Shared contacts too, but 
those are far less critical.]

But unless I'm missing something, granting and managing rights to those shared 
resources seems pretty difficult.

The easiest way I see to share/manage these shared resources, namely calendars, 
is to create a stand-alone account and create the calendar in that "user's" 
account. Then to create groups that have the ACL's/permission-sets to those 
calendars [eg. read, read-write, full-control] and then add and remove 
individual users from those groups. That way the "permissions" needed for the 
shared calendar flow from the group to the user. Then you simply add/remove 
users from groups to control access and exactly what permissions they get.

However, none of the implementations I've tinkered with have any notion of 
groups. [That I can find.] Yes, you can grant rights to a calendar to 
individual users, but that's unmanageable at any scale over a handful of users.

Perhaps it's something I could get building my own setup, from scratch...but 
it's hard to commit the resources to doing that, unless I can demonstrate that 
the end-product will be fit for my purposes. [Kind of a chicken-or-egg problem.]

So, any suggestions on how to get a "quick" and "easy" setup that will do what 
I want so I can do some testing before committing a lot more time and effort? 
Or better yet, a fairly neatly packaged version/distro that will do 90% of what 
I want, and I'll live with some rough edges - at least until solving that last 
10% becomes worth the cost in resources.

TIA
