Hey that is not nice, 
because of the use of OpenPKG; we can offer support
about 15-18 different platforms and of course we like to have more.
Most people here on this list got Kolab-Server running
with information they have found here or from openpkg.
Even more, this is volenteer driving effort.

you a fast way to help yourself I get "bzzt"ed. :(
