availability calendar

[Matthew Whiting]

Kia ora all,

I'm looking for a well written and easy enough to integrate availability
calendar, preferably an open source project. Will need to accommodate up
to 4000 users, each with their own availability calendar. I'm doing a
bit of Google search and looking through a few options, but
recommendations are always good :)

Cheers
Matt

Google Calendar is an obvious choice, though not opensource.

There's also http://www.davical.org/ from NZ. I haven't used it anger though.

I'd be keen to know what you choose in the end.

Regards
Jonathan

Don't know any open source ones, but +1 for Google Calendar! And you can always use http://www.tungle.me which is free I think with premium versions if you want to personalise it.

DAViCal is written by Andrew McMillan (based in Wgtn), and seems to be
the most complete implementation of the CalDAV standard. It's also
written in PHP. It does, however, depend on PostgreSQL, which might make
it tricky for some who've only dealt with MySQL to maintain. Here's a
recent list of some other calendaring servers which run on Linux:

Google Calendar is probably the easy option, but does require that users
are comfortable entrusting their data to Google. I suspect most will be
cheerfully oblivious.

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks for your suggestions Dave, Jonathan and Allan. What I require would
use only a very small subset of features for most of these calendar
solutions. Essentially, all I need is a status for a whole day e.g.
available, unavailable, perhaps some other statuses. No need for events or
scheduling at a finer granularity. I need something similar to some of the
booking scripts for the likes of holiday homes that I'm coming across
online. Looking over some code now and figuring how much I'll have to
rewrite and whether just to create something myself. Or perhaps it'll be
possible to use a subset of features for one of the more fully featured
calendar solutions suggested. I'll keep exploring options. Cheers
