Depends a bit.  Information about distributions is put in the wiki.
The porting development work is not really discussed.  There are some offline 
email exchanges.  

For now 2 modules have been ported and it should be possible to have them 
compile and run fine on other distributions, these are kolab-webadmin and 
perl-kolab.  I don't the exact status of the latter, it should be in cvs now, 
but whether it is in head or a branch I don't know...  Two modules are still 
to be ported, these are kolabd and kolab-resource-handlers?   The latter is 
mostly php, devided over 3 
directories:
kolab-resource-handlers/freebusy/
kolab-resource-handlers/resmgr/
The 2 above  are of reasonable size.  The following is just big:
kolab-resource-handlers/fbview/fbview

The other module to be done is kolabd.  Marcus volunteered to work on this, 
but that does not exclude anybody else to work on it, but that of course 
needs cooperation.  The kolabd module is a challenge because it will probably 
rely on distribution specific scripts and such.  Benoit and Timo expressed 
interest to have a look at kolab-resource-handlers.

A good start might be to create a distribution specific file in the dist_conf 
directory.  This will be the common admin file, that hold the distribution 
specific information:
http://kolab.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs-kolab.cgi/server/dist_conf/

(hmm, perhaps somebody can put this on the wiki....)
