thanks, that seems like the bit i was sort of missing.  i think i’m 
beginning to make some sense of this.

using roundcubemail-plugins-kolab-caldav-3.1.11 [on a host with a more 
recent version of php, so the generate_randomdata() discussion we had is 
moot], it appears to be working, at least given some basic exercises so far.

a couple of observations:

1] when adding a new event with a participant, it seems to work - the 
event is added and the invited participants receive an email invite, but 
i see in logs/errors:

PHP Warning:  Illegal string offset 'EXCEPTIONS' in 
/srv/www/webmail.example.com/private/awesome-it.de/roundcube-plugins/plugins/libcalendaring/libvcalendar.php 
on line 966

2] i was experimenting with $rcmail_config['calendar_caldav_url'] - but 
i'm not quite sure how exactly it is meant to be used.  my hope was to 
automate the caldav configuration to some extent, so users aren't 
necessarily required to manually configure this, if possible.

3] when saved, all day events seem to be moved back one day.

4] a few other general questions: are there mechanisms for sharing 
calendars or for free/busy searches?  how about autodiscovering all of a 
users' calendars, so if they have more than one they don't have to add 
each individually?

thanks daniel and michael for all of the guidance so far with this.
