One option would be to have your authors use CalDAV to view / make changes, and also export the calendar (perhaps in an automated / periodic fashion using our calendarserver_export tool) for publication via http. Clients could then use the subscription feature to view the calendar read-only, without the need for a CalDAV account.

That is all accurate, of course, but feel free to file an enhancement request on our trac (and attach patches!) if you want something more automated or integrated with the server.
