Yes, you are right. We should prevent data loss as far as possible. It's not 
that easy, though. You are basically accessing internal files when you are 
accessing the ics through ssh. It's hard to capture all this cases and it's 
also the question to what degree this makes sense as a common user normally 
wouldn't do this anyway.

If you need concurrent access to a calendar you should use a groupware server, 
which is designed for that.

The most simple setup is to use a plain IMAP server through the Kolab 
resource. You don't necessarily need a full-blown Kolab server, a normal IMAP 
server, for example what you usually get from your ISP, should be enough. 
This setup allows you to work offline and includes some kind of 
synchronization.
