Dunno, maybe you can get it.  I was informed that they were canning it. 
Technically I think is was going on hiatus, like what happens to good TV
shows that the networks don't want to come out and say they are
canceling because not enough of the troglodyte portion of the audience
watches them.

Yep, but it only works so/so.  Evo's importers can be a bit woogily.

Yes it does.  And wouldn't it be nice is someone would actually code an
iCalendar server for crying out loud.

Yep, when Apple realizes something is a good idea and the Open Source
community can't get their heads around it, it is just a sad day. 
Unfortunately that day is today.
