Joe, I've run an instance of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (the Community Edition) for about five years now. It'd certainly be too much gun for a calendar-only job, but provides the caliber of webmail I need to tempt the family away from El Goog. My wife and I both have iOS devices accessing multiple shared calendars via CalDAV, and the only deficiency in the Calendar.app integration is that it lacks the ability to invite. This isn't a big deal for us in that we both primarily use the iOS calendars in (ahem) "read-only mode", doing the vast bulk of our event creation in the web client (on Big Computers). The SAF* is quite high. ;-)
