Syncing my calendar between iCal and Moz Sunbird via WebDAV

Tech Add comments

I have wanted to share my calendar between myself and my wife. There have been lots of hacks, but today, with the announce of the mature Mozilla Sunbird 0.2.

I thought I would give it a shot, and downloaded / installed it. Very easy.

Then, I setup a place on WebDAV to host the calendar, and was able to point both Mozilla Sunbird and iCal.

It all went swimmingly well, and the end result is that I will know what Emily is up to, and she will unfortunately know what I am doing (well, what I put on the calendar ;)

    There have been issues in the past with iCal (as in the OS X app) and Webdav calendars.

    From memory, you have two choices with a remote calendar – you’re either a publisher, or a subscriber, but not both. If you want to (as I did) publish to a remote calendar, both from Sunbird and iCal, things didn’t work.

    It’s possible iCal now supports that – must give it a go.

    I have had some issues with republishing with the iCal side.

    So, I grabbed Sunbird on the OS X side too, and I am able to publish AND subscribe from all machines.

    Lovely.

    CalDAV on Wikipedia

    Just saw over at Mitch Kapor’s blog that Lisa Dusseault has composed a Wikipedia page concerning the CalDAV protocol, which is an extended WebDAV implementation for calendars. For more information about CalDAV head over to http://weblog.infoworld.com/u...

    How or where did you setup that WebDAV account?
