Everybody knows that it's possible to publish an iCal calendar to MobileMe. This way, the calendar will be accessible by anybody. It's also possible to protect the calendar with a password. The downside is that you have to give out your MobileMe login info if you want to share this calendar with somebody.
This hint explains how to publish a password-protected calendar to MobileMe, using a different login. The first step is to build a password-protected website using iWeb. In the Site tab of the iWeb inspector panel, you can set a name and password for accessing the site. This login can (and should) be a different one than the MobileMe account. Let's name this site SharedCal. You can just add a single template page to the site and then publish it to MobileMe.
Now, we have to publish our calendar. These are the steps:
http://web.me.com/username/SharedCal/MyCal.ics
They will then be able to subscribe to this calendar using iCal, entering the website username and password we set in iWeb.
