That there is a RDF in place doesn't imply thats the wrong way ;-) If 
there actually is such a thing like the "wrong way".

There is, it really depends on the target audience. I imagine Hula more 
along the lines of a webblog tool or even Plone. It doesn't provide a 
lot of functionality, but looks good and does the task sufficiently 
well for easy calendar sharing. Further its trivial to install.
Well, thats should be the idea, practice seems to be different ;-)

You don't need Outlook for that kind of usage.

No, it wasn't discussed. Its actually a part of a project we are doing, 
before you ask, we can't tell you a lot about the project itself (yet).
