open source calendar protocol

Calendar – Standards Based Calendar Client Project

I’m intrigued by this. I am using iCal to make and share calendars and the Mozilla calendar uses the same file format and supports the same publish and subscribe protocols (.mac or webDAV).

Add PHPiCalendar to your toolbox and you can do this.

And it creates RSS feeds of all its calendars. I like it.

I finally got in installed with mozilla in FreeBSD and I like it a lot. The file format is truly cross platform: calendars I have created in iCal on the Mac are readable in Calendar (even after being published to a third machine).

This is what I was hoping for when iCal was released: it’s not an Outlook-killer but it negates the calendar server requirement.
