Hi!
I just stumbled over CalendarTree[1] which is a service that
promotes calendar events to multiple kind of calendar tools and
services such as Outlook, Google Calendar and so on.
I wondered how easy somebody could implement support for Org-mode?
And I wondered if this is a possible way to add a groupware-layer to
Org-mode?
Org-mode is very great for me. But it's an island when it comes to
sharing events and so forth. :-(

Maybe you can ping the calendartree.com for this?
They get paid for their work and would certainly love to get a larger
customer base by adding such a cool feature. And they have a better
knowledge of how their system works, I didn't register a "free account"
just for checking further. Nothing to lose by asking them I guess.
Thanks,

Yes, I agree.
However, I am afraid, that this is a one-man-show only (the guy
drawing Dilbert!) and he most probably wants to concentrate on
interfaces with a high effort-to-users-ratio. And this is where
Org-mode is almost non-existent: a moderate to high effort to
integrate smoothly with a *very* limited number of users/customers.
:-(
My question was not only targeted to CalendarTree in particular.
More of a general question to get the opinion of others, how they
see the need/possibilities for Groupware-features enabled by
non-Emacs-based services. Probably, it's just me who wants to
send/receive appointments to peers that aren't using Emacs.
I used CalendarTree only as an example because it is a service which
tries to combine/connect different worlds together which is an
unusual goal these days (most people want to lock you in their
service instead of connecting you).
If the Org-mode community wants to connect to such services, the
org-mode community has to initiate it and implement it on its own -
I am afraid. Just because - compared to the rest of the IT-world -
nobody uses Org-mode.

Hi Karl.
What about org-caldav [1]? Not quite what you want but if you sync with
a calendar that can be shared, it does in effect achieve your goal. I
do this with google's calendar which I can indeed share with others.
Mind you, syncing with google calendar is deprecated due to
authentication issues, but that's another story.
