That's correct. At present DAViCal does not support the draft
scheduling extensions for CalDAV, which is what iCal uses (iCal3 follows
draft 3, I think, and iCal4 follows draft 7 or so).

We're working on it, and we're expecting to see draft 9 any day now,
too, since draft 8 just expired a week or so ago...

I'm hoping to release a 0.9.9 when we get the draft scheduling support
in there.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Hello Tobias,

I want to use DAViCal with Mac OS X iCal clients, too.
Why is your experience with Apple's calendar server so bad?

Frank
