 A Simple Calendar and Contact Server
======================================

Presentation
============

The Radicale Project is a complete CalDAV (calendar) and CardDAV (contact)
server solution.

Calendars and address books are available for both local and remote access,
possibly limited through authentication policies. They can be viewed and edited
by calendar and contact clients on mobile phones or computers.


Technical Description

configure. As a consequence, it requires few software dependencies and is
pre-configured to work out-of-the-box.

Windows. It is free and open-source software, written in Python, released under
GPL version 3.
