[CalendarServer-users] best practices for sharing calendars

[Omer Faruk SEN]

I think what i want to achive is similar to

http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/calendarserver-dev/2009-March/000555.htmlbut
it was disabled on code. Apart from my questions below is there a way
to
create "shared calendars" instead of "group calnedars" without using wiki?
I use
http://svn.calendarserver.org/repository/calendarserver/CalendarServer/tags/release/CalendarServer-3.0(Revision
8154)
