Another way

Just as easy, if you have the latest version of GoLive (6.0). On the second CD that came with the application you have "Adobe Web Workgroup Server". It is a WebDAV server based on Tomcat, with a really nice graphic interface and easy configuration of users and groups.

It took a newbie in our office less than five minutes to install and configure as a calendar server for iCal.

You can use almost any old computer, as long as it can run Windows 2000 or Mac OS X to host the server.

As a bonus, you can use this as a workgroup server for your team. Since Mac OS X can connect to any WebDAV server, you don't even need to use Adobe applications, although they give you more options by way of the alternatives in the Workgroup sub menu in the File menu...

Yes, that's certainly a way to do it, but I was happy to find something that didn't require WebDAV (since I'm not the administrator of the server the calendar lives on). Is the idea that GoLive makes HTML out of the iCal source? (which was another goal of mine -- for those w/o the iCal app to view the calendar) Or just that there's an easy-to-use server bundled with GoLive?

Just the easy server bit... (and the pretty useful workgroup functions).

GoLive won't do squat. As far as I can tell, iCalendar doesn't use XML, but vCalendar, an older format, so you can't even set up a translation through XSLT. If iCal had used xCalendar instead, it might have been an interesting project to try in GoLive.

However, since the server is actually a web application served by Tomcat, I suppose you could build a JSP version of PHPiCalendar in GoLive, but that wasn't my point. Hm, come to think of it, I do need an interesting project to play with, while learning JSP. I might be back with something along those lines later... thanks for the tip!
