Hi Adam,

thanks for your reply!

Yep. If I want to see events that are visible to groups ("teams" in =20
WMOGAG notation) that I'm in but where neither me nor the group are =20
listed as participants, I only see those events if I subscribe to the =20=

groups calendar. What I'd want to have is probably what's discussed in =20=

the WMOGAG under "Group Overview folders" as a (non-existent by =20
design) all-intranet Group Overview folder ...

Yep. The duplicates are not seen in the client (Apple iCal 3.0), only =20=

on the web ui or when I subscribe to the iCalender file in parallel to =20=

CalDAV access (this is possible with iCal).

I know that in principle this is possible. However, iCal claims to =20
support free/busy information but - when used together with oGo - says =20=

it's not available.

Yours, Mark
