I agree that a CalDAV compliant calendaring server would be a great
addition to Fedora, but is the Darwin Calendar Server the best one to
focus attention on?  As far as I am aware there are at least three other
servers we could consider:

	http://www.bedework.org/bedework/
	http://chandlerproject.org/
	http://rscds.sourceforge.net/

I am not following development of any of these, so I cannot comment on
which would be best for Fedora, but it would be worth doing a review
before focusing on one implementation.
