Yes, but what about the critical piece, the server? So far as I know there is no exchange replacement out there. Is this correct? Or maybe I'm thinking there's no drop-in replacement for exchange itself.
Well, there's at least one open source server out there <http://opengroupware.mirrors.nks.net/>. Used to be closed source, but open now. Looks like it has potential.
Also, most iCalendar software just uses WebDAV <http://www.webdav.org/> to publish calendars. Then you can use software like PHP iCalendar <http://phpicalendar.sourceforge.net/> to display the calendar, or just let people subscribe to it with their calendar software.
My calendar (a work in progress) is on <http://jorgensenfamily.us/~andrew/calendar/>. The iCalendar file was created with Evolution and is viewed with PHP iCalendar. I used scp to publish it, but WebDAV wouldn't have been hard to do.
What I don't get is why I can't just store my iCalendar files on an IMAP server. Seems like doing so would take care of all the functionality exchange provides. I can invite people to meetings by sending them an event by email. I can contribute to a public calendar by saving it in a public folder. So what's the big deal? What does exchange really do that Courier can't? Is it really just a matter of writing a client that knows to do that?
