The iCal server is open source!
Today's calendaring news from Apple gets even better!
Cyrus Daboo from Apple (yes, he's the Cyrus of the IMAP server and Mulberry) writes in an email:
Hi folks,
FYI today Apple announced full support for CalDAV in both the iCal client and a new open source calendar server for its upcoming OS X 10.5 client and server products. What's more we support the latest version of the scheduling specification for scheduling support.
iCal is available as a developer preview right now, and of course we will be bringing it to the next [calconnect] interop - on the Apple campus - next month.
The calendar server is being released as open source under an Apache license. This is available here:
http://collaboration.macosforge.org
Of course we will have this at the interop too.
In addition, of interest to other server developers, is a CalDAV server test suite with over 500 'unit' tests for testing various aspects of a CalDAV server implementation. This too is available as open source on the site linked above.
That link doesn't bring up anything for me currently, but I'm anxious to take a look at the open source server - it'll be interesting to see how platform-specific it is or isn't.
