CalDAV is a calendaring protocol which is slowly becoming the new open standard. Technically, it is an extension to WebDAV (which stands for Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning), which is a protocol which allows remote applications to save data to a website.

CalDAV is already well supported by many non-Microsoft applications, including Apple's iCal and Mozilla Sunbird. Both Google Calendar and Yahoo Calendar support CalDAV client software (albeit in beta at the point of writing).

Forget About IT® are currently evaluating a CalDAV server as a alternative to our existing iCal server backend.
