Hi Josh,

I haven't used the CalDAV method, and would also be interested to hear
more about it. I have however, set up multiple Google calenders within
Evolution, 3-way syncing between Evolution,  GoogleCalendar and my
Android phone. The only problem that I've come across so far is that
Evolution does not download the calendars for offline use, even though
one selects the option. I can see how this could be problematic,
although I can of course still access the calendars from my phone. The
GoogleCalendar option also of course allows one to use any PC to which
one happens to have access to check / update schedules.

I hope this is helpful, and that someone can supply us both with more
info on the CalDAV option.

Robin
