<br>fully compatible Kolab2 client has been restarted last year and is<br>about to reach its final stage.<br><br>Last year p@rdus (<a href="http://www.pardus.de">http://www.pardus.de</a>) started developing a new Horde<br>
driver for Kolab groupware folders. At the same time Thomas Jarosch<br>from Intra2net (<a href="http://www.intra2net.de">http://www.intra2net.de</a>) developed a caching framework<br>to boost the speed and usability to a reasonable level.
<br><br>The Kolab Konsortium (<a href="http://www.kolab-konsortium.de">http://www.kolab-konsortium.de</a>) decided to<br>sponsor and accelerate the Horde development done by p@rdus at the<br>beginning of this year and the new caching framework was sponsored by
<br>KONSEC (<a href="http://www.konsec.de">http://www.konsec.de</a>) and WU Wien (<a href="http://www.wu-wien.ac.at">http://www.wu-wien.ac.at</a>).<br><br>In the last two months we did join forces in order to integrate the
<br>improvements into Horde CVS. This has been an extremely successful<br>cooperation and the new Kolab framework has now been committed to<br>Horde CVS. We believe that this finally converts Horde into a fully<br>compatible Kolab2 client. With these changes in place Horde/Kolab is
<br>now moving into a bug fixing phase in order to stabilize the Kolab<br>specific code for the Horde 3.2 release which is to be expected soon.<br><br>Development took place in a special Horde branch<br>(<a href="http://projects.pardus.de/kolab/browser">
http://projects.pardus.de/kolab/browser</a>) which made it hard for<br>others to follow the development. With this final CVS commit the Horde<br>CVS system can be considered the ultimate point of reference again. So<br>if you have bug fixes or wish to improve the Horde code, Horde CVS
<br>HEAD will be your friend.<br><br>p@rdus did create the necessary packages for both OpenPKG and<br>Gentoo. These packages are now based on CVS snapshots and provide some<br>specific Kolab patches that have not yet or will not be included into
<br>Horde CVS. Once Horde 3.2 has been released Horde/Kolab will start to<br>use reliable, released packages.<br><br>In the meantime we encourage all people that do not run a production<br>server and that are interested in hosting a Horde web client to join
<br>the bug hunting phase. In order to install Horde please consult the<br>updated installation instructions in the Kolab wiki<br>(<a href="http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Kolab2_Installation_-_Horde">http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Kolab2_Installation_-_Horde
</a>).<br><br>Please submit any problems you might have either to the Kolab bug<br>tracker (<a href="https://www.intevation.de/roundup/kolab/">https://www.intevation.de/roundup/kolab/</a>) using the keyword<br>"horde" or to the Kolab queue of the Horde bug tracker
<br>(<a href="http://bugs.horde.org/">http://bugs.horde.org/</a>).<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Thomas and Gunnar<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Kolab-devel mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Kolab-devel@kolab.org">
