Re: Re: [Chandler-dev] Subscribe/Publish of CalDAV collections

You can subscribe, you just can't publish. Our subscribe option is  
very smart and figures out if you're subscribing to a caldav or  
webcal or chandler sharing url.

Although the options for subscribe and publish are in the same place  
their behavior is very different. Subscribe allows you to subscribe  
to any arbitrary calendar/sharing url, if you need authentication for  
that collection it will prompt you. Publish requires that an account  
is enabled before you can push data anywhere.

Another thing I'd like to note is that Chandler can't publish a  
single collection to multiple locations. I for one would like to  
publish to hub.chandlerproject.org and to an apple sharing server  
since they support scheduling, and I could leave up a chandler  
desktop instance at home to sync between the two locations. But this  
feature has post-Preview all over it :)
