I'd love to see a calendar server in Fedora, though TBH when I looked at Apple's long ago it was a bit daunting; it seemed like one of those cross-platform hacks that is very much -not- nicely integrated with the OS (I don't remember the details; weird file hierarchies or private copies of libraries or ...?). Maybe it's better now. But if not, that may be a hiccup. But I'd say give it a shot. I'd help test it. :) FWIW I looked at DAViCal (http://rscds.sourceforge.net/) too and it seemed like an interesting possibility as well. -Eric -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
