[CalendarServer-users] Multi-user XMLDirectoryService

[fano.de Team]

Same here, we have problems with unsufficient client parsing of  
correctly saved events.
No clue on solving the prob.

Since we have no support on this, we are on the way trying the  
implementation of Communigate.

A shame for a company like Apple.

Best, Mac
