Thanks again for your help a few days ago -- I've been playing more and 
have more questions.

* WebCalendar doesn't work on FC4

Tried to install a local testing copy on my home machine (Fedora 4): 
after much head scratching, I finally figured out that the SELinux 
policy for apache prevents cgi scripts from writing files, no matter 
what the unix perm are.  Any suggestions?

* Any tips on install/running as non-root?

Installed on our vhosting account where I don't have root.  Seems to 
work fine, although I certainly haven't tested all the features! 
Anything I should watch for?

* Where to start?

I want to demo WebCalendar for use by our church's staff, mainly for 
event scheduling (meetings, classes, events).  What's the basic approach 
to this kind of use?  Should I set up a calendar for each person?  One 
per room?  Per type of event?  It's a little murky how to get the best 
use out of the groupware capabilities, which is the main advantage.

* Any support for a /cancelled/ event?

It would be really nice to have support for cancelling or rescheduling 
an event: highlight the original event as cancelled, and point to the 
rescheduled event, oh, and send notices out.  Just deleting the event is 
not terribly helpful.  Maybe you guys have some simple ways of dealing 
with this already...

Thanks for any clues!
