This has not been my experience and I have tested this on Snow Leopard and Lion servers. Can you elaborate or give more information on your process, the above process for me downloads all the events from the web calendar into iCal and allows you to manage the calendar from iCal or through the web interface.

True, it works. But strangely enough, it creates a NEW calendar the first time you specify the akward path to the group’s calendar.
this means that the calendar originally created by the system for the group (the one you could access from the wiki interface) isn’t the same – and so doesn’t get synced with the iCal ones.
Bummer.

I totally agree, most of Apples enterprise solutions do not measure up to other products, in an ideal world when you added your calendar it would query the server, and download every calendar that you were “Assigned” to or a member of, this would in my mind be a better solution that addresses some of your concerns.

This is great if you belong to only one group – but what if you need to access multiple groups? Maybe you need access to the company calendar (encompassing all groups) as well as the engineering and development groups -then what? Setting up multiple calendars with these guidelines results in the same events being repeated over and over again. Apple’s network architecture appears to be very “flat” – you really can’t call this “Group Calendaring or Collaborative” because it just isn’t.

Great, so glad Apple is supporting this, about time!
