The CalDAV specification has been under development for a few years now, and at the same time we -have seen increasing pressure from people and organisations in the open source world to provide a -solution to their shared calendaring problems. -
-In evaluating the possibilities for shared calendaring, there are a number of possible approaches, but -we have elected to follow the path of implementing CalDAV because we believe it is a good specification -and that it will in due course gain client implementations and provide the richest user -experience through those client implementations.
- -CalDAV is a client-server protocol specific to managing and reporting on collections of calendar resources.
-As such, our intentions in developing this application are as follows:
-DAViCal is a server for calendar sharing. It is an implementation of the CalDAV protocol which is designed +for storing calendaring resources (in iCalendar format) on a remote shared server.
+An increasing number of calendar clients support +the maintenance of shared remote calendars through CalDAV including Mozilla Calendar +(Sunbird/Lightning), Evolution, Mulberry, Chandler, and various other closed-source products +such as Apple's iCal and iPhone.
+We have chosen to write this in PHP because we believe that PHP is a widely available web scripting language.
-We have chosen to use the Apache web server because it is also widely available. This is not necessarily a requirement, -but no testing has been undertaken in other PHP environments to date.
-We have chosen to use the PostgreSQL database, because it is a free, open-source database, which operates on a very wide set of -operating environments, and which is fully ACID compliant.
+DAViCal supports basic delegation of read/write access among calendar users, multiple users or clients reading +and writing the same calendar entries over time, and scheduling of meetings with free/busy time displayed.
-For the greatest ease use you should consider installing DAViCal on the Debian GNU/Linux -distribution from the readily available, signed packages.
-We expect to increase the level of automation and simplicity for the Debian target release in particular, although other -distributions might also become easier at the same time. We do expect slightly greater installation complexity in the first -few releases as we come to understand the particular problems people experience.
+We use Debian GNU/Linux for this, but other people use various different +versions of Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OSX and even Microsoft Windows. We definitely do not recommend using Windows +for this unless you are completely hobbled by silly internal IT policies and have to do so.
-In general DAViCal should not need significant maintenance to keep it operating.
-Administrative functionality will be kept as simple as possible, within the target of supporting -organisations of up to several hundred staff.
-The server-side smarts in DAViCal are intended to be fairly minimal in order to support CalDAV - only in a manner sufficient to inter-operate with clients, and with the focus primarily - on the storage of calendar resources.
+You can download DAViCal from http://debian.mcmillan.net.nz/
+Start looking on the DAViCal Installation Page for more places to download, and +detailed instructions as to what to do when you have it.
-General administration of the system should be through a web-based application.
-Calendars will not be made available in a web-based view in initial releases. It is unlikely that calendars will ever be -maintainable through a web-based client, although the server should support the use of web-based client software which -works using the CalDAV protocol.
+Read here about how to configure various CalDAV Clients with DAViCal. There is also +a page on the wiki which will sometimes have newer information.
+ +Specifically: help on DAViCal!
+The best place to go for help on DAViCal is the DAViCal Wiki.
+If you can't find your answer there, then the IRC channel #davical on irc.oftc.net is +a great next port of call. Many problems can be solved quickly with a short on-line chat.
+Almost as good as the IRC channel is the DAViCal General Mailing List.
+As a last resort, or in case your organisation likes that sort of thing, paid commercial support is available +through the author's company Morphoss.
