Yes. They have no 'copy', there is just one record shared by all.

Yes, client functionality. Eg Evolution might choose to send an iMIP  
message.

The OGo web interface asks the user whether he wants to send a mail  
to the participants.

No. It means that you have no write permission to the appointment.  
Which is the default in OGo. (all participants have automatic read  
access but only the creator has write access).

In the webui the user can configure a 'default write ACL' so that all  
accounts in that ACL get write access for new appointments. It does  
not affect ZideStore clients (yet), we should probably change that.

Nothing :-)

Exactly. GroupDAV has no way to get/set permissions on resources  
though you can mix it with other protocols, eg WebDAV ACLs:

   http://www.webdav.org/acl/

Can you add panels to Evolution which would configure the OGo  
permissions? Probably I could enhance ZideStore to expose the OGo  
permissions as WebDAV ACLs.
