RE: Implementations of iCalendar and ICAP

[Geir Egil Myhre <geirmy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Distributed Systems group at the University of Tromsoe, Norway, is 
working on an implementation of iCal as part of a larger project called GDD 
(The Global Distributed Diary). The projects' main scientific goals are:

   1.Address and devise solutions to the data consistency problems that 
arise when small, personal, variably
     connected mobile machines are integrated into an infrastructure for 
data sharing dominated by stationary,
     well connected computers.
   2.Devise a distributed application (a distributed diary), along with 
appropriate system support (which
     includes security), that handles consistent read/write sharing of 
replicated data between a large set of
     heterogeneous, variably connected computers.

Our method is based on an implementation of iCal and CAP augmented with 
enchancements adressing issues arising from the variably connected state, 
and resource weakness, of the computers running Calendar User Agents. Our 
platform is FreeBSD and PalmPilot.

All source will be made freely available as soon as we have a beta up and 
running - expected around march'99.

I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who might be interested 
in our work, which is described in some more detail at

|Andre is correct.

|Does anyone know of any free/open-source implementations of iCalendar that
|are available or in the works?
