I wouldn't normally post OT but I'm getting pressed to upgrade
Meeting Maker here.
I'd need a calendaring system for our 50 users where User A to be
able to write directly in User B's diary and also be able to book
meeting rooms and av equipment resources.
I'd love to be able to use iCal but can't find any 3rd party server
solutions and have seen no mention of iCal Server in any of the
Tiger server info released.
Should I just forget being able to use iCal as an office solution?
Thanks,
David.

Meeting Maker works very well for us.
It's not expensive. It shares r/w calendars & does resource booking
very well. We're an all Mac shop but MM is cross-platform & the
licensing is straightforward and easily scalable.
Apparently Apple uses MM for calendaring so I'm not holding out too
much hope for an iCal-server solution.
The main downside of MM is lack of integration with isync imho.
* PC - Outlook (Online, Offline, Cached Mode), Apple Mail and
iCal, Eudora, Evolution, Thunderbird/Sunbird, RSS, etc.
* Mobile - Wireless devices "over the air" synchronization sans
special client software: Blackberry, Palm, Nokia, Motorola, Good,
PocketPC, etc.
Zimbra Collaboration Suite Beta 2 was released a few days ago.
iCalendar compatibility is important to me.
For the time being, I'm going for SchoolTool <http://
www.schooltool.org/>. Basic calendar and resource management, with
group edit (comparable to delegate) functionality. If you plan to
host the SchoolTool server on Mac, please note <http://
issues.schooltool.org/issue447> in relation to the current version
0.11.3.
In due course I expect we'll move from SchoolTool to either Zimbra
(as it matures) or Meeting Maker (if its support for iCalendar
reaches the desired standard).
XC Connect <http://www.xcnetwork.com/xcconnect.jsp> appears to
synchronise and share but unless I'm missing something. it lacks the
group edit functionality present in both SchoolTool and Zimbra.
