I have used MRBS for a client in the past. But not specifically with Skolelinux. It is some time ago, and back then I found no better alternatives. More recently I have succeeded using calendarserver for booking purposes, and I wholeheartedly recommend doing that instead: It uses open data and protocols, can be a little tricky to setup at first, but benefit is high as it is then accessible by many standard calendaring clients. In my configurations calendarserver offers only CalDAV access, and I use homemade script myicsdump (attached) to generate ical files of selected areas, making those public with Apache2. myicsdump uses a helper script localics2ics, available here: http://source.jones.dk/?p=bin.git;a=blob;f=localics2ics - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
