A propos the "single URL" idea for a Cosmo share:

In general, this kind of "single URL" problem is relatively easy to solve in a corporation (just give your Exchange server name and everything else falls out...) but hard to solve in a federated system

So the answer boils down to: yes, for members a cohesive group that has their calendars hosted in the same place, each person in that group will be able to use a single Cosmo URL to find their own calendar and those of the others in the group. Beyond that, sorry.

and may be that will be enough. IMHO it will cover a very common scenario, namely, small groups of non super techy folks trying to incorporate one new member in the group.

I'm not sure though if you meant that the 2 solutions are exclusive, i.e.:
- you have one single URL for the group, sharing is easy for all group members but impossible with outsiders (short of granting them view on everything and everyone as another group member)
*or*
- you have specific URL for each member, sharing is flexible within and outside the group but incorporating a new member means having to subscribe to a long list of shares (for the new member) and adding the new guy to everyone else's list of shares

I really don't know WebDAV enough to draw my own conclusion here.

Cheers,
