Calendars

Each Amahi server has a calendar server in it.

The publishing URL for the calendar is

 http://calendar/

This server is meant to share calendars with other people who can access the server.

Eventually we will have a web interface to the calendar server (accessible through the http://calendar/ URL itself), however, for the time being, you need to use a c alendar program to publish and subscribe as well as set and delete appointments in calendars in the server.

  1. A client calendar program,
