<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Development is certainly ongoing (see <a
href="https://git.kolab.org/" moz-do-not-send="true">git.kolab.org</a>).
My impression is that the management of Apheleia (the company
that now owns Kolab) has decided to not actively work on the
community. I don't blame them, they can spend their money how
they want to. They still make available all their packages to
the community. I think Debian 11 should already work and Debian
12 is being worked on. (I don't know the status of other
distros.) So the project is not dead, it's just that the
community documentation is not being updated.<br>
</p>
<p>I do think that the situation has improved since a while ago.
Developers engage with the community now on <a
href="https://git.kolab.org/" moz-do-not-send="true">git.kolab.org</a>
(wasn't the case before).</p>
<p>If there's any hope for the documentation it has to be the
community itself that revives it. I believe anyone can
contribute to the documentation on git.kolab.org. (I did manage
to get something added to the docs a while ago.) Next time I'm
updating my Debian installation I will consider addings some
documentation. But I'm very limited on time (and I suspect most
here are).</p>
<p>But really, things will only improve if we do it ourselves!</p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
<p>Lennart<br>

"me too" email. My system is still on Centos 7. I have never
found the time to resolve all the upgrade/migration issues to a

but haven't really found one. Mailcow looked promising, but me
and my users have gotten used to how Kolab works both via
Roundcube and mobile clients. <br>

Things seemed promising about a year ago when the new management
chimed in here on the future of Kolab, but then radio silence
after that. <br>

I'm in a similar situation, and will soon need to upgrade from
Debian 10 to 11. <br>
<br>
I tried a few times to ask questions on the IRC channel on
Libera, on <br>
which there are always a few users, but silence. <br>
<br>
Unfortuntely if I'm unable to upgrade I will have to migrate
away from <br>
Kolab Community ;( <br>
<br>
Thanks <br>

I wonder if there is any development ongoing on Kolab
Enterprise and/or Kolab Community Edition. It's very quiet
on the lists and I have difficulties getting usable and
reliable information on the web regarding Kolab. <br>
Documentation for Kolab seems very outdated, it references
Builds for Operating systems that do not work at this time
(Debian 10, CentOS 7 and so on). The referenced mirrors in
this documentation do not work, referenced Package
signatures (for example for debian) do not work or the GPG
Keys are simply missing and so on. <br>
The different projects on OBS seem all not usable, are
missing packages or have serveral failed packages. <br>
<br>
I found blog entries regarding installation on Alma Linux
which seems to be the current reference installation, but
even this does not work (installation works, but after
setup-kolab it leaves an unusable kolab installation, for
example mailboxes for new users are not beeing created. <br>
Or, if mailbox creation works somehow, roundcube users can
only see their mailbox but none of the additional folders,
even if they are existing on the imap store. <br>
<br>
So can someone please enlighten me if there is any work in
progress on the community edition at all? For me the project
- as I see it right now - looks dead. This would be very
sad, as I'm a kolab users since Kolab 2 and I really love
it. <br>
<br>
Cheers <br>
Thomas <br>
