The code I moved to the Horde repository is not "Kolab specific".  
Free/Busy is something other projects do as well. Resource management  
is also not specific to the Kolab server. Horde offers the same  
features - albeit currently not in the same complexity as the Kolab  
server does. Merging our libraries with the Horde code is an ongoing  
effort.

I wanted to move the source code into "server/src".

We discussed the same issue on the phone yesterday and we agreed that we would
simply use the structure currently in place in "kolabd" and  
"kolab-webadmin". Having a second level directory that contains the  
source which is named in the same way as the top level directory. So  
the only change of the current system would be to add  
"server/perl-kolab/perl-kolab" and move the source code into that  
directory.

We'd build source tars in server/perl-kolab/perl-kolab (using  
Makefile.PL) and publish them on files.kolab.org. The Makefile and  
spec-file in "server/perl-kolab" would then download the source from  
there and package it.

Thomas mentioned he won't move directories on the server so I'll do it  
on the client side.

Cheers,

Gunnar
