This is related to the question on organizer/phone. <br>
<br>
My wife and I work together. (no, that's not a joke.)<br>
<br>
On the same Fedora Core 10 system. Running Evolution, against a local Dovecot IMAP server. (I have the console, she has Nx client)<br>
<br>
I have a Kyocera smart phone. I can usually hot-sync it via serial port, no joy with USB. <br>
<br>
She has a Palm Z-22. She could probably hot-sync it via USB.<br>
<br>
It would be logical to share each other's calendar, or at least have it on the palm. And phone/contact list. Is that really all that much to ask? <br>
<br>
However, I've yet to figure out how to even share each other's calendar on Evolution. Yes, there's a function labeled "Subscribe to Other User's Calendar", which does absolutely nothing. And an Action labeled "Publish Calendar Information", which seems to allow writing the calendar to an external file, via a variety of methods, and I can get it to spit out her calendar to a file, and with enough karma I can actually define another calendar which shows her calendar. <br>
<br>
BUT, I can't change her calendar, she can't change mine, and we can't have a single combined calendar that we both can change. And unless I'm missing something you can only hotsync a single calendar to a Palm. <br>
<br>
Is there a better way of doing shared calendars on Linux that hotsync to a Palm? <br>
<br>
<br>
I won't even get started on shared contacts. Supposedly one can create an LDAP server, and share that? Any samples? Honestly, this isn't a hobby. How hard is such a simple task supposed to be? <br>
<br>
Yeah, I've tried these questions on the Evolution groups/forums with no response. I just thought I'd ask real people if they have found rational solutions, that don't make email a full-time job. <br></div></blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>Neal,</div><div><br></div><div>Before my wife and I started syncing our iPhones and maintaining things on iCal, we were using Google Calendar through Google Domain Hosting for our personal domain. Doesn't help much with the Palm, but being a former Z22 user, not much will help with that palm. Google Calendar permits you to share the calendar and decide which accounts are permitted to read, or read/write. All you need are devices with decent web browser capability, and or an integrated google app like the BlackBerry has.</div>
