[ale] Sharing Calendar - How?

[Neal Rhodes]

This is related to the question on organizer/phone. 

My wife and I work together.  (no, that's not a joke.)

On the same Fedora Core 10 system.   Running Evolution, against a local
Dovecot IMAP server.     (I have the console, she has Nx client)

I have a Kyocera smart phone.   I can usually hot-sync it via serial
port, no joy with USB. 

She has a Palm Z-22.   She could probably hot-sync it via USB.

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? 

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. 

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. 

Is there a better way of doing shared calendars on Linux that hotsync to
a Palm? 


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? 

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.
