I'd guess that John C. Welsh has never laid his hands on, installed, or tried to configure OS X 10.5 server. I installed the developers' preview edition of Leopard server, and, well, someone's got a lot of writing to do.

In particular, I tried to set up the iCal server and test it with various clients. There's essentially no documentation, and what exists is less than helpful. It appears not to work well with the iCal application that ships with Tiger. I had a little better luck with Mozilla calendaring clients, but only a little.

If iCal is going to be the great alternative to MS Exchange that Apple aficiondos and the IT press would like it to be, it's got to a) work with a variety of existing clients (including Tiger's), b) be easy to set up from the client side, c) work with existing authentication databases, and d) have some meaningful documentation. Anything less, imo, and Leopard's iCal server is basically vaporware.
