[kronolith] shared calendars via ldap users

[Atif]

Hi Terry,

Although I know nothing about OutLook Calendars, I do understand the 
need of Shared-calendars.

I have planned some time this week to see how this can be done.

In the mean while, I have had been looking into another application that 
was designed especially for this purpose (Sharing, Tracing, intranet 
etc) called moregroupware http://www.moregroupware.org
I have tested this app, and its going to work for you the way you want 
(as a collaboration tool) out of the box.
Maybe Horde developers should also look at this app.

There are a couple of things that bug me about moregroupware:
1) Everything is tied to the database (users etc. no support for LDAP)
2) All comments and most variables in German language :) (but that is 
understandable because the app was written to solve problems in-house 
and later was decided to open sourced)
3) use of Smarty templating engine


Other than that it looks good.


As for Horde, I am interested to have groupware capabilities and will 
hack on it this week.


best regards.

Cool! That doesn't bug me! ;-)

Get used to it! There are plans to use the smarty engine in horde too.

Yes. The group library is very new, it's not used so far and not documented if 
not in the source code.

This won't be a big problem. We recently added import/export stuff, so we 
probably will soon be able to send or recieve iCalendar entries from or to 
kronolith with imp.
But that's not the sort of "shared calendar" I was thinking of. I think of 
group events that are shown in the individuals' calendar that are parts of this 
group. And the ability to look up others' calendars to find free times for 
meetings etc.

If you use turba with your ldap server as the backend, you won't have a lot to 
do. Think of: Select an event ín kronolith, get an address from turba and send 
an invitation with imp.
But there's still a lot work to be done of course to make this happen.
