Web based shared calendar options
Web based
- PHP
- Works pretty well.
- Able to view events via ics with Evolution.
- Chosen project to use.
- Had to slightly hack the development for it to work:
includes/translate.php in function translate added the lines:
global $lang_file; $lang_file = 'translations/English-US.txt';
- A database password needs to be set
- Perl
- Works well. Has a nice event view.
Calendar view interface not quite as good as WebCalendar
- Supports using desktop clients..
- Looks ok. Interface not as pretty as the above two.
Rejected
- Didn't bother reviewing a lot of others:

- Doesn't work out of the box on F8 (J2SE 7 preview).
- PHP
- AJAX
- poor quality
- GPL
- Complex "groupware"
- Code written in C.
- PHP (Version 5 required)
- MySQL
- AJAX
- Hasn't been updated in a while. No proper homepage.

- Complicated groupware
- Complicated groupware
- Perl.
- No release since 2002
CalDAV clients and servers
Worth getting something that supports the [wiki:CalDAV CalDAV] standard. Ideally we would just install the server and use native desktop clients rather than a sucky web interface.
Darwin calendar server (not a client or interface)
- Evolution CalDAV extension
- iCal
