I can confirm all of the below, but I'm not sure whether it addresses
the issue of the OP'er.
I know it is possible to create 'email lists (/groups)' in MS Outlook
and in nearly every email application having addressbook-functionality.
IIRC you can achieve the same behaviour with a central LDAP. In MS
Outlook however, you can also use these lists to send out a meeting
invite to all people in the email list - Outlook's calendar module will
then 'disassemble' the email list into all individual members of that
email list.
The above just confirms (I guess) that this is more of a client-side
feature then it is a server-feature. The OP'er is clearly confused by
the 'groups'-functionality of DAViCal, which is merely a concept that is
used for permissions and nothing else.
@OP'er: if you want to mimick the same behaviour, you should:
* Create a DAViCal group and set the correct permissions
* Create an email list in your client or in your centralised addressbook
* Keep the above in sync (manually or with a script)
Even with all of the above, however, it will not grant you the power to
set reminders for people. OOTH I don't know if this is something DAViCal
can do, but if it is possible, I reckon it won't be anything more than a
global setting, to set a reminder for every new event. Anything else
should be setup client-side.
