[Kolab-devel] RFC - The future development direction of Kolab

[Alain Spineux]

You forgot DNS (bind), DHCP, .... , why not PRINTERS (cups) ... in fact
anything witch is already using LDAP or with a .conf file :-)

If you want to go so fare you should consider existing solution like GOSA
and
think about new problems ....

I thing KOLAB goal is to be a groupware, the best one, and that another
project
should finely integrate all these tools.
KOLAB developers must take care of theses porject request to facilitate its
integration.
