Re: [LUG] Shared Calendars?

Anyone know what the current "best" webby based shared calendar type of

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!

Cheers,

I'd suggest maybe having a look at eGroupware, it's got a calendar option and I believe it's compatible with phones and other devices using SyncML (or the Funambol client). I used it a while ago, I got it working reasonably well between Outlook, Thunderbird with the Lightning plugin and a Windows Mobile 6 phone.
