Another sharing PR

[evert]

Work in progress.

TODO:

• Right now we pick a 'default scheduling calendar' that might be a shared calendar. This should always be an owned calendar instead.
• Decouple notification system from sharing system.
• Implement getInvites and updateInvites in PDO backend.
• Test iCal
• Test BusyCal
• Re-read old caldav sharing spec and see what we're missing
• Re-read dav-notifications spec and validate implementation
• Re-read dav-resource-sharing spec and validate implementation
• Attain 100% coverage of new code
• Re-read caldav-sharing spec and validate implementation
• update new sql table names to not have underscore

Fixes #803

Oh it is great so see progress on this! Thanks alot @evert !!
Do you have any ETA for the sharing features?

Reason I am asking: alot of projects and groups demand not-googlish online calendars, including sharing features. owncloud is the only stack with a useable admin interface, but alot of people refuse to setup the whole owncloud heap for security, speed and maintainability reasons. the other alternative is projects like radicale, altho missing a end-user suitable admin interface (or better: using LDAP as backend will never attract endusers ..%) )!

Hence I believe baikal is the stack alot of people are waiting for. I'd even be willing to donate a for the feature!

Hi @phaidros7 ,

Glad you like the feature. I think this is fairly close to a release, but it will take a bit longer before it's also in baikal. If you are interested in sponsoring, I recently setup Bountysource.

https://www.bountysource.com/teams/fruux

Here you can either sponsor the team as a whole or post bounties on specific features. If you want to post a bounty on this feature specifically, you can do that via #803.

This is now ready for review / testing.

If travis passes my tests, I'm landing this. Finally!

Forgive my noobiness but im trying to figure out how to share a calendar on Baikal...or is this not yet a feature?

[evert]

It's not.

[prism69]

Thanks Evert, would you know if such a feature is imminent and, if not, what other open source calendar server I should be looking that has sharing?

[phsc84]

You could try Owncloud 9.

[evert]

The feature is going to be part of sabre/dav 3.2, which is a few weeks out. The plan is to then release baikal a few weeks after that. So this should be somewhere in June/July.

[prism69]

thanks, I guess I will wait.

@evert Any news on calendar sharing landing in Baïkal?

[evert]

This will happen later in the year. Baikal deseparately needs a re-architecture for this to work somewhat sanely. So we will first launch with silex support, and then sharing will come too.

You can track progress here: sabre-io/Baikal#568
any help is appreciated.
