Hi Thomas!
See e.g.:
http://trac.calendarserver.org/ticket/330
Group calendars have been disabled; one of the main reasons seem to be implications for scheduling. The other that iCal doesn't support it… *sigh*
Not being an iCal user I'm sure that's probably correct, although I can't see why it would be an issue, surely the caldav client just sees a caldav calendar? Anyway, seems to work OK with sunbird/iceowl without issues.
Of course it is quite annoying not to have them - the only workaround I know is to create dummy users for each group and make the group write-proxy for that user. If someone has better ideas, I'd be interested.
Which is a nasty kludge/hack if you ask me. Especially if you're (going to be) using LDAP as a directory. One of the things I really like about DCS is that it does/did group calendars, and it's certainly one of _the_ major reasons why I was asked to test it out, once it found it's way into Debian at least... I for one don't need all the attendee/scheduling features for group calendars, but I'd like to know that when DCS gets updated in the Debian repositories, and I apt-get upgrade, that all our groups won't suddenly disappear. Cheers. Dameon.
