I can't answer this entirely right at the moment. We are planning to  
make some changes around the use of the My collections in 0.7. We are  
also working on some changes to our sharing format. There are a bunch  
of existing bug fixes that provide confusion (ie: published shares  
that fail are hanging around of the server). Once we cleanup all of  
this, we can re-evaluate and figure out what's changed and what still  
might be confusing. We are focussing our efforts on performance work  
for Alpha3 so you won't see most of this stuff materialize until Alpha4.

I am not sure I follow.  If you are sharing your calendar on 2  
machines, does this mean your Chandler looks like it has published  
that collection on both machines? I assume that in the second case  
you have simply subscribed to the collection on the other Chandler.
