[ale] phpgroupware & Global Addressbook

[Nathan J. Underwood]

Ok, made the switch to eGroupware (which seems to be much more mature 
than phpGroupware), but I'm still having some trouble understanding the 
ACL's.  I'd like to find a way to have a big calendar that everyone has 
access to, and then the private calendars (easy enough so far), but also 
group calendars (i.e. that not everyone could see / edit).  We've found 
a way to do it with appointments, but not yet with just calendar events 
(i.e. events that we don't invite attendees to).  We're looking for 
pretty much the same thing with the addressbook, but it doesn't seem to 
be as critical.
