More iCal and iSync ponderings

  • Reported by Nate

So we are still trying to figure our way out of the paper bag of options for os x contact, calendar, and task management. Individual calendar and contacts can be iSync-ed between multiple computers, if you have a dotmac address for each individual. You can try iSyncing two different people's contact and calendar, but be forwarned that things will get messy, your iChat will report you to be the other person, and your contact/calendar information will quickly become a confusing mess. We can publish and view each others calendars, but then they will not be editable save the computer that originally created them. A combination of iSyncing and publishing will require two dotMac addresses, and will still only allow viewing of the other person's calendar information and tasks. It seems that the apple suite of apps is so "me" centered that collaboration is not an assumed factor.
