[Cialug] CalDAV/CardDAV

[Claus]

Thanks Zach,

I agree it's heavyweigth especially for the small scale I'm working on.

Can you tell me about the features specifically regards to 
categorizing/grouping contacts and if that grouping is available in the 
various clients.  For example on iOS the Microsoft Exchange server 
displays the various folder groups.  With google (as exchange server) 
will show only "My Contacts" group.  The contacts of the other groups 
can be searched through the Global Address Book (but not browsed). 
Yahoos contacts (as CardDEV) are all listed together, ignoring any 
"Lists" that one has setup.

So MS Exchange is doing what I really want but talk about heavy weight 
for personal usage.

I'd like the categorizing/grouping to persist across clients (windows 
pc, android, iOs).


Thanks,
   Claus

I was able to create calendar entries (they are in the database) but can't see them on the clients. It would be nice to know if the server and clients are mature enough to be used and if it's just some config issue Before I spend tons more time on it.
