After double-checking with my superior, it would seem that this is the  
general consensus -- see below.

That might be putting it a bit strongly, but I'm certainly not exactly  
proud of it. Then again, I just might have ridiculously high  
standards. Conversely, the others involved on our side seem to have  
rather low standards. As for our "intentions" --

The idea is that Kolab, not Horde, make the whole thing part of their  
"standard installation" (eventually anyway).

The latter part, at least, makes sense -- it will very likely *not*  
make it into the Horde repository; at least until we (and therefore  
Kolab) switch everything to H4.

So in the words of aforementioned superior (i.e. --begin quote--)
* we want to bring Kolab forward, notably as to set it apart from  
other groupware solutions
* we desire feedback, such that we can adjust the application to what  
everyone[1] wants[2]
* after so adjusting it, we want to distribute it to the general public[3]
--end quote--

[1] "Everyone", in this case, referring to the Kolab folks.
[2] It seems people here expect that this coincide with what *we*  
want, i.e. what we know
[3] That is, by having it bundeled with Kolab.

There -- our side's POV, in a nutshell. :P

Sincerely,
Simon Bausch
