Share one iCal file between multiple users on one machine

It appears that this hint no longer works with the Tiger version of iCal as the Calendars folder is no longer used.

If anyone has an updated hint, please post. (My wife would like to add to the honey do list!)

I believe I have found my own solution.

You need to move the folder at ~Library/Application\ Support/iCal
instead of the ~/Library/Calendars to a shared location and link back to it.

This can be done in Tiger. There's actually no need to set up a separate partition or use a second drive. If you've already been using iCal, your calendar data is in ~/Library/Application\ Support/iCal. As an administrator, move this folder to /Library/Application\ Support/iCal. Then go to File->Get Info, under Ownership & Permissions, and change the group to 'everyone' and give Others 'Read & Write' access. Then make symbolic links for all the users using Terminal:

% cd ~/Library/Application\ Support
% ln -s /Library/Application\ Support/iCal iCal
