Hi,
We're interested in open source servers that might be interesting as shared calendar backends for Evolution.
Know about opengroupware.org, egroupware.org, phpgroupware.org.

What about interacting with osaf and the chandler project for the calendaring systems they are developing?

They mailed recently and asked if we could give them our thoughts on calendar server-side, and I said something like "ummm... our thoughts aren't very well-developed" ;-) but yeah, interested in working with them.

They're still in heavy devel but I think they'll be an interesting group to interact with. They've gotten some fairly serious backing from the common solutions group and their tie-in with I2 is something to think about when thinking about desktop deployments and calendars.
Universities are interesting users of desktops - specifically of calendars.

How about shared contacts too? I know LDAP can do this, but evolution doesn't seem to be able to write to server, only reading.

Good point. In an MS architecture, are contacts in Exchange or in AD? Anyone know the answer for Sun, Lotus, Novell?
The weakness of LDAP seems to be that it's only people who work at your company. We need some other idea of contacts that includes anyone you email or IM, roughly speaking.

I can't remember off the top of my head if Evolution supports modifying LDAP data, but I think it does. The problem is (mostly) ACLs, it's actually relatively straightforward to allow read-write access for adding entries "beneath" a user's dn, but most people don't do this. Given the proper configuration, LDAP is a perfectly reasonable place to store both "enterprise-wide" and personal contact information.
