svn is broken in so many ways i cant even see your reasoning here. come back after you have had to manually resolve some "conflict" appearing out of nowhere while you are the only one working with the current files, or dealing with a "no such revision" error. svn was, and still is a piece of crap. i know, i still use it :-(

ever heard of torrent dude

Hello all, this is how i use networked calendar.
I am using a webdav setup under apache for this.

You need to enable the apache2 modules "dav" and "dav_fs"

It allows you to publish iCal file on your website behind ssl if you wish, you can also configure user rights access like this

<Location /webdav>
    DAV on

    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "webdav"
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
    # only authenticated users may access /webdav
    Require valid-user
</Location>

<Location /webdav/martin/>
    Require user martin
</Location>

Then finally, you use Mozilla Thunderbird with the Ligthning addon, which adds calendar & iCal features. then you can recieve & send invitations to outlook, have both a private & public calendar, share calendar with your employees and so on.
It works in Windows, Linux & Mac OS X.
Right now i am looking for a cellphone that reads iCal too so i can auto-sync the calendar there. I haven't found one but i'm sure there is some.
