That's just group calendar software; 'groupware' sometimes means a lot more than that. I have a few experiences with this sort of thing, but those experiences aren't particularly good. I think it's like web browsers; they *all* suck, it's just a question of which one sucks the least for your purposes. I've used MeetingMaker, and it works. I've gotten by with ical, as well. > I found joydesk on the freebsd site and a article about getting ocsweb > running on freebsd at oreillynet.com. > > What other options are out there? Netscape had some calendar software, and I've heard a few good things about CorporateTime, as well, although I've never seen it. I don't know about platforms, though, as the backend for all the group calendars I've ever used ran on Solaris. There *are* a bunch more options; I'm not claiming to be an expert.
