[CalendarServer-users] Q: Usable docs for installing/configuring calendar and contacts server?

[Petr Blavov]

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to get a CalDAV and CardDAV server running on Ubuntu 12.04LTS 
and following many recommendations on the web, I wanted to do this with 
the Darwin calendar and contacts server. But I can't find usable 
documentation on the configuration of this package anywhere - nothing 
more that a few howto-like posts explaining how to setup very specific 
configurations without explaining in any more detail why you should do 
what they're saying. I'm actually astonished to encounter a seemingly 
widely-used open-source software without even the most basic description 
of the layout of configuration files or the available commands/options etc.

Therefore, I'm trying my luck here:

I wanted to use the calendarserver included in Ubuntu 12.04 (which, if 
the package version is correct, installs calendarserver 2.4) to get the 
follwing setup:

  * A small number of users, each with a personal calendar, plus one
    calendar sahred by the whole group
  * A small number of CardDAV address books, readable and writable by
    either the whole group of users or just a single one

Can anybody tell me how to configure the various files to archieve this 
setup. Should I use the 2.4 version provided by Ubuntu or should I go 
and install a newer version from the repository (and if the latter, how 
do I go about it after downloading the files)? Any pointers to a more 
complete documentation I might have missed are very much appreciated, too.

Thank in advance for any help on clearing up my confusion. :-)

Cheers, Pit
