This sums up our current experience.  If you want to use iCal as the  
master and simply publish up to kronolith it works perfectly.  You can  
even add events on an iPhone/iPod and sync through iCal, but you need  
to think of the kronolith calendar as a published version of iCal  
which is replaced with whatever is in iCal at the next publish.   This  
makes it useless as a collaborative calendar.

The good news is that Jan recently posted that he hoped to have an  
initial version of the CalDav server by the end of the month, which  
should solve this problem.
