What exactly are you doing?  There is no such thing as "other user's
calendar".  There are team folders which are based upon read-access
permision, there is the private folder, and there is the overview
folder.  All these exist for each user.  These folders are all views of
*the* calendar based upon appropriate filters.

This is a feature not a bug;  multi-calendar systems are stupid,
horrible, and every other negative word I can think of.

What is currently very much lacking is a ZideStore presentation of
Overview+Panel,  which is what most of our user's use (but via zOGI and
not CalDAV).

The ZideStore chapter of WMOGAG describes the contents of the various
folders.

No, don't use that URL.  "/ics" means it is an iCalendar subscription.
Or at least only use if for read-only access.

To access a user's container "/UserName/" you *must* authenticate as
that user.
