What Hacker News says
4 sourcesI was attempting to simplify the multi-version php setup I have in my small-scale server setup and noticed sabre needs PHP 5.4 and apparently doesn't run with php7 [1]. I wonder how much interest there is to upgrade that dependency at sabre. My un-informed opinion was that it's a good idea to move with your php setups.

In Sabre/dav: open-source CardDAV, CalDAV and WebDAV serverI've been trying to do this with inf-cloud, and baikal

https://github.com/fruux/Baikal
It mostly works so far, but I'm definitely looking for a simpler, easier to implement solution. I looked at Radicale before, but I forget why I passed it over. I'll have to look into this.
In Host your own contacts and calendars and share them across devicessabre/dav & Baikal
A popular CalDAV/CardDAV/WebDAV implementation in PHP, integrated into pretty much any PHP-based project that requires these features and sometimes even in non-PHP projects that simply don't have a solid extendable implementation.
sabre/dav is the library, baikal is a management application on top of it.
This months goal:
- Update baikal to use Silex instead of a proprietary framework.
Next months goal:
- A new design for Baikal
Needed skills:
- Intermediate PHP developer.
