Right now I have three calendars that I share to a remote, iCalx, account.  When I make changes, I have to remember to publish them.  I admit I've been spoiled by Apple's iCal implementation that automatically updates any changes.  Now that I'm using a windows computer, Sunbird is my best alternative.  This may already be on the features list, but here's the idea.  Offer automatic updates a) upon any change, b) at specified intervals, or c) at shutdown, or d) manually, the way it's set up now.

I did try to set up the "publish" toolbar button, but that does not seem to work at all, which is why I suspect you all have some variant of this feature in mind for a future release.

This already works. may be a duplicate of bug 215971, bug 237265 and bug 200012 (solved in 2003). Guess something else is wrong with you setup...

WFM?
Matt, we use the "remote calendar" option to create calendars that are remote and will have their changes automatically updated.  The "Publish" option is for one-time publishing only of a local calendar.  The UI for this is not all that good, and I can see that it is very confusing for users, especially new users.

So, if remote calendars work for you, then I'm going to mark this bug as a duplicate of our "improve the publishing UI" bug in order to lend weight to that effort.
