[OmniOS-discuss] Caldav suggestions?

A guide is found here too, it should apply to OmniOS relatively well:

I was trying to compile this one after checking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_CalDAV_and_CardDAV_implementations but I wasn’t able to get it working, then I had to take a break and I haven’t restarted yet. If you try, let me know and I give you the info I got until now.
