Re: Schedule-like app for Linux
You can try Ontime, www.ontime.com. I've used it in Windows environments and it works fairly well. I could not find on their site what O/Ses are supported, but they state they support mulitiple networking environments. It might be worth an email to find out.

I don't know if it will meet your needs, but have a look at plan: http://www.IN-Berlin.DE/User/bitrot/plan.html This has a lot of useful calendar/scheduler functions, and is easy to use once you get the hang of it. It can be run on a local machine, but it is also networkable: you can store the schedule files on a central server running a program 'netplan' and the other machines, each running 'plan', get their data from that. I think that controlling access to the files is probably a matter of setting up groups: there doesn't seem to be an access control function which is configurable within plan, but I'm not sure. Correction: I just had a look at man netplan: You can set up an access control file which controls which users can do what (read/write/delete) to each schedule file. Ted.

Picture an email client that cannot mark messages as replied to, that cannot even begin to match the functionality of Outlook Express or Netscape Composer.
