I have my iCal on my iMac at home. I have it set up so that my wife and I can access the same calendar from our separate accounts on the computer.
I also have the calendar published so I can read it at work which works well. Now I would like to be able to not only read it but also modify it from work. Is there a way to do that through .Mac maybe? (I finally got an OS X machine at work).
Thanks a lot for any help.

not yet (short of somehow logging onto your machine at home and changing the calendar remotely). But I believe you'll be able to do this with the version of iCal that will come with Tiger.

Is this true? Can you say more?

You can. Mozilla has a calendar app that supports the .ics format and will allow you to import and edit the calendars.

I'm just going based on reports/screenshots that appeared on rumor sites - I can't confirm any of it unfortunately.
I will say I think it's probably the single most requested feature, and I'd be surprised if they didn't add some sort of solution to the Tiger version.

Thanks very much, all.
OptimusG4. Where do I find this Mozilla calendar app? I sdon't see it in my "regular" mozilla. And once you edit it, how do you store the edited calendar back in its original location?
Thank you.

I just thought of a possible easy solution...
What if I publish my main iCal calendar from home and subscribe to it at work. So all changes from home will be visible at work. Then I also publish one at work with all the stuff I add from here. At home I subscribe to that one with automatic updates of course.
So now I can add stuff either at home or at work and it will be visible in both places as long as both "layers" are turned on of course. The only thing I can't do is edit the "other" calendar.
That would get me most of what I need...
Any reason this shoudln't work?

This will work precisely as you describe. It's something of a workaround, though, rather than an ideal situation.

Is good if you have a mac for work!
Was looking at this exact problem yesterday as have published my calendar through .mac/isync at home, but as i use windoze at the office, i can't find a way of changing it and synching.
If u can access your .mac idisk on a windows machine by downloading idisk utility for windows, surely they can do sort something similar for iCal??
