[CalendarServer-users] Attendees from Outside : via user community improvements?

[Eric Rabinowitz]

So I am wondering this:   Is the caldavserver community able to make  
changes for additional features/enhancements and check them back in to  
the tree or are changes strictly controlled by Apple?   Would  
community contributions/changes require a divergent source tree  
located elsewhere?

Hi Jakob,

thanks for the Information. I thought that I'm stupid, but now I know  
that I was right and it's a lack of CalendarServer.
Have a nice time.

Kind Regards
