Hi Jan, thanks for the reply.

The only thing I recommend here is that you create an entry in Outlook and 
export it.  Look at their stupid format and try to duplicate it.  They say it 
is Icalendar but the headers say Vcalendar and look a little different than if 
you create an event with ical, so go figure.  Sadly to say a ton of your people 
are going to want to share events with Outlook users.  I am not suggesting that 
this way should be exclusive but perhaps have a checkbox which says "Compatible 
with Outlook".

This works perfectly in my situation.  I have several departments so to speak: 
sales, development, IT, management, marketing, etc.   This information would be 
best stored in an ldap server where true unix groups are supported.  I don't 
know php so I cannot write the driver for you, I am sorry, perhaps if it was 
perl.  :(  

You have a ton of potential in this project.  I am very anxious to see what 
happens with it.  I am glad to help in any way.

Take care,
