Forwarding back some further comments I made on GoLUG's discussion list: > o Radicale. Written in Python 3.3 w/pip (yay), and is _small_. One of the reasons it's _literally_ light and small enough to run off a Raspberry Pi is that the project scope was to provide support for hosting multiple users' iCalendar (*.ics) files (using CalDAV protocol) and vCard v. 3.0 (*.vcf) address books / virtual business card files (using CardDAV protocol), but does _not_ provide Web-mediated real-time editing of those file contents, _just_ hosting for them. In other words, it's purely a Web-mediated server, with no client (e.g., Web-client) functions. Early in the development of Radicale (0.x), two friendly forks, Calypso and Xandikos, arose to address perceived lacks. I have doubts about their current relevance relative to current Radicale 2.1.8, but they are: https://keithp.com/blogs/calypso/ Calypso, Keith Packard's fork of 0.63: most notable change is back-end git storage instead of monolithic file storage. Calypso also added VCARD/CardDAV, but Radicale also has that, since 0.7.1, thanks to Packard's help. https://www.jelmer.uk/xandikos-intro.html Xandikos, Jelmer Vernooij's _fork of_ Packard's fork, attempting to refactor the Radicale/Calypso code, extend some standards support, and test with a broader range of clients. Xandikos is the name for the month of March in the ancient Macedonian calendar: Ξανδικός I have no idea why a Samba developer from the Netherlands is naming projects for obscure classical references. Possibly all the good names were taken. _______________________________________________ svlug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.svlug.org/lists/listinfo/svlug
