11. The Secret of Our Success — CalDAV

CalDAV is designed for implementation by any collaborative software, client or server that needs to maintain, access, or share collections of events. It is being developed as an open standard to foster interoperability.

CalDAV builds upon extant standards (RFC 2445, WebDAV) while anticipating and allowing changes in the future such as XML representations of calendaring formats.

Mozilla, Oracle, Open Software Applications Foundation, Novell, Bedework have publicly announced plans to support CalDAV.

CalDAV provides enterprises the promise of comprehensive, interoperable, global calendaring solution.
