The protocol defines a protocol, so the client applications themselves shouldn't matter, but we do need to have a way to communicate with the calendar server. My intention isn't to discount MediaWiki or Zikula as a possible platform for a calendaring client, but to say that the features you suggest are not what we're after here. Instead I'd say that those two applications could push/pull data from the calendar server (using caldav). The events listed in the caldav server can be manipulated by these other applications and probably through an API which could include Access Control Lists based upon FAS rights. I can see this being a bit of an undertaking, but it can really benefit the Fedora Project as a whole. As I stated in my previous email, I've got a draft up of all the features we'd like to see (it's pretty empty right now) and I'll probably go ahead and list some of this email there. But for those of you who are interested in helping me get that wiki page more complete, feel free to visit: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Herlo/Fedora_Calendar_Project_Desired_Features_(Draft) Keep the thoughts coming, I want to see this project succeed!
