[X4U] dot mac family pack question

[Steve Martin]

OK, according to that...

1) You can sync your own calendar between multiple Macs.
2) You can publish a calendar and have other .Mac/iCal users  
subscribe to it (did they ever make a way to password protect that,  
the page doesn't say).

But, there appears to be no way to sync a calendar between two  
different .Mac users.  Syncing is better than "cross subscribing"  
since both users can edit the same calendar entries.  If for example  
my wife subscribed to my calendar, and I put the kids basketball  
games on it but she got notification that a game time had changed,  
she would not be able to edit it since it would be on a subscribed  
(read only) calendar.  With us both using the same .Mac account and  
syncing one calandar, either one of us can make changes and they get  
sync'ed automatically.
