Ah, and while we are at it, we should also:

* Separate the repo into smaller repositories. For example, the Server and the 
Webcient should be separated, same goes for the webadmin. Details of the new 
repo layout are of course subject so further discussion.

* Sourcecode and packaging should be separated completely. The mixture of both 
made people do weird things like comitting patches that afect both. By 
separating this we wil lmake it easier for the distributions to package Kolab.  
We have already been working on that and need to continue the work.

All of these are just suggestions, and we should discuss them once we have 
made a decision about the SCM. I'm just mentioning this now because we should 
do several things in one step because splitting will also cause a rewrite of 
the history anyway.

Regards,
Christoph
