Anyone know what the current "best" webby based shared calendar type of application is?
Something that can synchronise with a mobile device would be nice, but not 
strictly necessary at this point. I used something called "WebCal" some 
years back, but wondering if there is something else.
Google is probably an option, but I don't want to sign email, website, etc. 
over to google at this point - and it needs to work on a hosted server 
rather than a google server...
Basically I have a group of 12 people working from all over the place with 
their own hosted server which runs their own email and specialist web stuff 
and they want to carry on using it but add some sort of shared calendar 
service to it. They have a mix of iPhones and android phones.
(And hosted exchange isn't an option either ;)

Any clues welcome!

Citadel works for me [www.citadel.org] but I like Open Business Manager more [obm.org] and will probably migrate to that in the future.
Both work with Thunderbird/Lightning. I understand Outlook connectors are 
available. The various Funambol server/client software works well for 
smartphone integration.
Both are whole groupware solutions (ie. do email too) so might not be ideally 
suited as a Calendar "plugin".
I'm trying to avoid the whole "groupware" thing right now as there's a few 
other applications tied into the email system, so really don't want to 
disrupt it, if at all possible!
Been pointed in the direction of http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php so I'll 
give that a go this afternoon.
Cheers,

Gordon
