Apple will only say it works on Leopard, but my 10.4 install with Python 2.4 from DarwinPorts seems to be hosting it just fine.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll need to find a usable client before I could hope to get this out of testing. We&#8217;ve been looking for something like this, and I hope it goes without saying that the something isn&#8217;t Microsoft Exchange, since our mail servers run on Linux, for a long time. Current-generation dav calendar apps such as iCal don&#8217;t support the CalDav protocol, so I have to look at upcoming apps. Apple mentions <a href=\"http:\/\/chandler.osafoundation.org\/\">Chandler<\/a> in the README, but it seems pretty crufty so far. For example I&#8217;m able to subscribe to the example included calendars pretty easily, but I can&#8217;t figure out how to publish a calendar from Chandler. <\/p>\n<p>So far, then, I&#8217;m no better off with Darwin Calendar Server than I am with any old WebDav server and calendar client, such as Apache and iCal, because I can already publish non-shared calendars to WebDav, and subscribe to them via URL&#8217;s. I don&#8217;t see that DCS is going to improve things much until I find a good, shared client, and one that integrates cleanly with other applications, e.g. mail and address books. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since I first checked this out on Tuesday, they&#8217;ve updated a couple of configuration files and, more importantly, added a README so I know how to build it.
