Re: Time to move to 10.5 server???

No, I said they were using iCal.

They don't use iCal. iCal a registered trademark from Apple (http://www.apple.com/legal/trademark/appletmlist.html ) designating a calendaring application integrated in standard in Mac OS X since version 10.3.


The others eventually use the iCalendar standard (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2445 ).

No, I said they were using iCal. I specifically used that word and not CalDAV and said it was production ready.

You did not use the word iCal :

This is incorrect and misleading. Apple's new iCal Server uses the CalDAV standard, which "everyone" in the industry (except Microsoft) is trying to work out implementations of right now. CalDAV is somewhat based on iCal, which is industry standard (even Microsoft uses it to sent invitations back and forth), but CalDAV is still a new/emerging technology. Apple seems to be a leader in this area, but the "big boys" such as Lotus Notes seem to be very interested in this standard as well.

I'm not sure where you're getting your information but those "big boys" are currently implementing this as a standard.

You did not refer to iCal, and did not use this word. The whole paragraph was about CalDAV, not iCalendar.


But there is no way you could call CalDAV or iCal Server "production ready" before MacOS X Server.

I'll be sure to point that out the those who've been using it then in production for some time, and that includes some rather big enterprises using some very popular and production products. I suspect IBM is going to disagree with your assessment here...

Again, you responded directly to CalDav and iCal Server. You did not use the word iCal.


And I agree with others : CalDAV, even if based on WebDAV and iCalendar specs, is not yet deployed anywhere but in Leopard's iCal Server. It's a new emerging standard, a new player in the field.
