Server-based Calendaring Solutions:

These are the different calendaring solutions I am looking at so we can do a fair evalution. My intention is to weed out as many as possible and then install the others so we can look at them.

I've rejected a bunch and have 10 to look at a little more closely. After that, I'll whittle it down to 3 or 4 to install and play with.

Rejected:                        

• CS Calendar Server (abandoned)
• CyberScheduler (proprietary)
• Cybozu Share360 (proprietary)
• DogFood (abandoned)
• eGroupWare (calendar is an afterthought)
• Favorin Time (proprietary)
• ICAP Server (immature)
• Internal Affairs (German only as far as I can tell)
• MeetingMaker (proprietary)
• MimerDesk (jack of all trades, master of none)
• MRBS (for booking meeting rooms only)
• mod_perl Calendar System (abandoned)
• Momentum Project (abandoned)
• MyPHPCalendar (immature)
• NullLogic Groupware (way overkill)
• OpenCAP (abandoned)
• OpenSched (project management)
• Obliquid (framework - too much work, but interesting)
• PHP iCalendar (iCalendar itself is view-only)
• PHProjekt (project scheduling, but it looks good)
• Prospector (for single users only)
• ScheduleWorld (proprietary)
• SKYRiX ZideStore (proprietary)
• Samsung Contact (proprietary)
• Sun Java System Calendar Server (proprietary)
• TUTOS (team organization - scheduling is a part)
• UW Calendar (university calendaring - WAY overkill)
• VisualCalendar (proprietary)
• Webo Web Organizer (kludgey)
• WebCalNG (proprietary)

To Be Investigated:

• Chronos <http://chronoss.sourceforge.net/>
• PBCS <http://www.pbcs.org/index.php>
• phpGroupWare <http://www.phpgroupware.org/>
• Java iCal Group Scheduler <http://jical.sourceforge.net/>
