[Kolab-devel] Kolab administrative web interface: why not using horde?

Hi Fabio, 
 
while it's good news to hear about the ongoing development in Horde, IMO 
Horde isn't there where it works reliable. 
 
I think Matt has given a fairly good estimation of the current situation: 
What is needed at most is stability for the access from Horde to a Kolab 
server. The next step might be to abandone the need of a MySQL 
installation when running Horde with Kolab. Then multi-domain support 
might be of interest. 
 
The existing Kolab web admin frontend does it's job. It does it quite well 
actually. So there is no need to replace it. Even if Horde might be equal 
or better in admin functionality one day, I think it wouldn't be wise to 
throw away the existing solution. Sometimes you simply don't want to 
install Horde but go with the Kolab package alone. 
 
So let's see how Horde will evolve as a Kolab client. Perhaps time will 
come when the question should be asked again. 
 
Best regards, 
Andreas
