Hmm, you're right. 

Some problems with that (some may be documented):

- At least on *buntu apache is preconfigured not to allow .htaccess

- The redirect is wrong because it presumes OC webroot == '/' My .htaccess has 
this:

 Redirect 301 /apps/calendar/caldav.php /remote/caldav.php
 Redirect 301 /apps/contacts/carddav.php /remote/carddav.php
 Redirect 301 /apps/files/webdav.php /remote/webdav.php
 Redirect 301 /files/webdav.php /remote/webdav.php

If I change it to using:

 Redirect 301 /owncloud/apps/calendar/caldav.php /owncloud/remote/caldav.php
 Redirect 301 /owncloud/apps/contacts/carddav.php /owncloud/remote/carddav.php
 Redirect 301 /owncloud/apps/files/webdav.php /owncloud/remote/webdav.php
 Redirect 301 /owncloud/files/webdav.php /owncloud/remote/webdav.php

It works OK when I set up an Akonadi resource. 

- I'm not sure if the RewriteRules have the same problem as I suck at regexps 
;-)

Yes.

It has - whether it's good to have yet another writable directory is another 
question.
