We seem to be held up waiting for Duke Nukem Forever :P
There are some issues remaining, but the current server is very usable. The
client is the sticker currently. The most annoying part is the server has
been pretty much finished now for about 4 months and is now just being
tweaked. I guess this is good, but im hot to show off my shinney now toy.
Kolab has some technical advantages over other systems and has some very
impressive open standards behind it. I would even be as brave as to boast it
to be the most open of all approaches, but then again im biased ;)
The KDE Client is stable enough for testing currently, but still has rough
edges to hammer out. We may also have a demo for our GPL Outlook connector
by then too.
For those who are not up on the technical details Kolab is an Open Source
email and group calender server. It uses IMAP as the main data store, SIEVE
as the filtering system (so yes you can actually apply filters to addresses,
and calender events), Data is stored on the server in vCard and iCal file
formats as message attachments, so migration on and off of the server is a
matter of perl scripts. Lastly all config data is stored in LDAP so you can
configure every aspect of the server (email accounts, server name, etc...)
all via ldap. This makes clustering trivial and integration into something
like NDS or ActiveDirectory much easier.
Its cool stuff! If anyone wants to hear more I can talk all night ;)
Cheers
