Well...it works! http://www.happyassassin.net/extras/egroupware_caldav_it_works.png egroupware's web interface on the right showing the test appointment I set up, evolution on the left showing the same appointment: it's accessing the calendar from my personal egroupware server, via CalDAV (see the left hand pane). It seems like a pretty impressive little beastie, too. I managed to kill it by somewhat inadvisedly trying to use its webmail support with my fairly underpowered mail server's gigantic IMAP mail boxes, without using the imapproxy instance I have set up on the mail server. I think it timed out on something and left its MySQL database in a broken state. But that's the only problem I had. I haven't gone beyond setting up the test calendar appointment and verifying Evo could connect to it, really, but I'll stress it a bit more tomorrow by trying to get SyncML working, sticking my *real* calendar in it, and trying contacts as well. The server I'm using runs Mandriva; I've updated Mandriva's egroupware packages for this purpose. It'd be fairly trivial to convert the packages to Fedora. Upstream actually provides Fedora packages, but at a glance they're not terribly clean. I haven't checked whether there are any private copies of what ought to be shared resources in egroupware yet, really, but at a glance it doesn't involve any hideous packaging nightmares; it's all just PHP, and it seems to use shared resources where appropriate (it uses quite a lot of php-pear stuff). Do poke me on IRC if you have any questions.
