Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] publish.php with basic auth, write to user specific calendar..

Hi Blake,

Hm, that is a subtle difference. Is there not some combination of  
username/everyone calendar list configuration that lets you let  
everyone (authenticated or not) see all calendars, but also associates  
a specific user with a specific calendar? I think if calendars aren't  
in the blacklist, but are in the main list, there's no restriction  
anyway?

I've been pretty inactive in PHP iCalendar since I stopped using it so  
much and have started working on different projects, which is why a  
lot of my suggestions are in the form of questions. I'm just an  
annoying unsolicited advisor now.
