Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] phpMyCal - editable calendars in phpicalendar

[<wsa...@ws...>]

   Why use MySQL instead of editing the ics calendar files directly?  Or 
is this a independent thing that just happens to know how to generate 
ics files?

   The reason I care is that I figure that iCal will become smart enough 
at some point that it will be able to open ics files over DAV as 
read-write.  Which means the authoritative file can on the net instead 
of on one of my computers, and all my Macs can edit it using iCal (no 
iSync required) and other software (eg. phpicalendar) can also edit it.

   If you store the data in MySQL and generate ics files from there, 
this wouldn't be possible for those calendars; the only way to edit 
them would be though your app.  Plus it requires MySQL, which isn't all 
that easy to set up and manage.
