Now they should create a decent and light carddav and caldav server because what exists today is a mess. Not all features are supported, notifications for invites and whatnot aren’t even good or present in most cases and things break. Radicale is python thus not reliable, buggy and not functional for a large scale deployment (> 50 users) and Baikal lacks features.
A CalDAV server doesn’t do notifications. Its job is to store event definitions, period. Even if it wanted to, it can’t interpret the definitions (because it’s not its job). For example if you define an event as recurring every week the CalDAV server only holds one copy of the event that says “recurring every week”. You need a calendar client to create an instance of the event for every week, and to email participants and so on. So what you really want is either a calendar client app or a groupware solution (which integrates the extra features around a calendar server).
No, you’re wrong. Gmail as CalDav server does it, it emails everyone when you setup an event. Baikal also does it but its kind of rudimentary and Radicale has a ticket open for it.
The Google apps are a groupware suit (which happens to have a CalDAV interface, which is incomplete btw because Google likes to keep some features proprietary).
Great you’re picking on the least interesting fact of my post. Enjoy.
If you’ve read the Radicale ticket you saw that the contributors agree with me and aren’t eager to implement such a feature.
I’m just trying to help you. If you need email notifications you should look at groupware products like NextCloud, not CalDAV servers. But be aware that groupware software often implement some parts of their stack as proprietary or non-standard.
Yes sure, as if NextCloud would be a solution for anything. No thanks :P
