I haven’t yet, though Cosmo is on my list to try really soon.

Open source efforts in the calendar space seem to be in one of two camps: broken because they’re still new and immature, or broken because they’re just poorly done. No one has hit that “mature AND usable” sweet spot yet.

But I don’t see Yahoo Calendar as a solution, for reasons exhausively explained above.

I agree completely, and have noticed the same shortcoming: calendar servers,
“…shared calendar space, where the options are either hosted, hideously expensive and heavy, or broken.”

If you have tried Hula and/or Cosmo, any comments/opinions would be very much appreciated — there seem to be very few reviews about them…

[…] Jeff Licquia: “I was as surprised as Ian to see Jeremyâ€™s response. Why do I not have a Yahoo account? Because I donâ€™t trust Yahoo to be as careful with my data as I am.

Apparently, thereâ€™s some advantage to confirming my paranoia, however many people I scare off software-as-a-service using that confirmation as ammunition.” […]
