what about something from the mozilla.org project...
it's been a while since i looked, but don't they have an open standards "iCal" of sorts? that can upload files to either a webdav share or a webserver and viewed with something like:

http://www.icalx.com/
or, not as useful, but still free: http://icalshare.com/

there's another site that's pretty cool, but i forget where it is. i have it bookmarked at work though. what about www.mypimp.com (now named hipcal.com ?)

iCal appears to be read-only. Or at least, those sites present it as such? Anyhoo. HipCal is very nice, I like it and hope it goes very far.

My ideal is a calendar that I can edit online anywhere, and can give an add-only URL to friends and family. Maybe I need to get active in suggesting HipCal features.

I have used iCal... but let me see if I can check with a friend of mine in Scotland.

He used an iCal compatible, web-based solution that we could edit online or by uploading an iCal file... it seemed to work really well.

I think he's annoyed with me right now, but I will still try and get the info.

A lot of the web-based iCal presentation systems appear to be read-only at this stage, probably because read-only is easy. Once you get into the ability to edit, you need to worry about repeating events and all that stuff that make life fun.

If you can find a Windows app that can publish to the web using WebDAV the same way Apple's iCal* does, you can use just about any of the web-based read-only apps.

*I hate the fact that Apple chose to call their calendar app "iCal"... "iCal", as a standard for calendaring information, has been around a lot longer than iCal, and it causes no end of confusion.
