Subject: [Hampshire] Sharing calendars
Hello folks

I've got a client who wants to combine their Windows PCs with a Linux
server. The server will provide file sharing (using Samba), email
(using IMAP), and shared calendars and task lists.

It's the calendars and tasks that are proving difficult. They need
something to replace Outlook (they currently use Softalk ShareServer
instead of MS Exchange).

Zimbra is a possibility, but it's only open source as an after-thought.
Likewise Atmail.

Citadel looks good, but seems to use something called GroupDAV for
calendars, whereas Thunderbird/Lightning and Evolution talk about WebDAV
and CalDAV and WCAP as ways of sharing calendars. And there's a thing
called CalendarServer from Apple which is actually packaged in Ubuntu.

It's all rather confusing really. Can anyone suggest a good way of
doing the calendar/tasklist sharing thing between Windows clients via a
Linux server?

cheers

Chris
