Calendar Question

Thread Starter 
I'm wondering if anyone has any idea as to possible software or plug-ins for iCal that will work to show a customer-side view of appointments while keeping personal information of other clients masked out. If you watched the Keynote you would have seen it in the Snow Leopard iCal/CalDAV demonstration. I'm just wondering if that feature is only something that will occur on server checks or if that is something built into the software. i.e.-Could it be used on the client side, say for example, allowing customers to schedule their own appointments on a touch screen in an office. Make sense?

Souns like you want two different things. One a CalDAV server that can either hide, or at most show busy/availiable information for clients. Google Calendar does this, but also the OS X server Calendar program does.

The other item you want is a calendar program itself, which obviously iCal or Sunbird/Thinderbird+Lightning will work.

The client would be subscribed to their own calendar, and you would edit what is publicly viewable on the other calendars. I don't have much experience with the Server version of iCal, but I assume it could do this, on Google Calendar it is a matter of having the information show as busy/unavailiable instead of giving details, or just not being publicly viewable at all.

At least if I understood your request.
