A "Kolab client" is anything that works the way described in the Kolab concept 
paper. Currently there are four known clients - the KDE client (*), the web 
client, Outlook with a plugin, and Aethera.

The first implementation of a KDE client was the kroupware_branch kmail and 
korganizer. Now kroupware_branch is not the best choice any longer, since 
Kontact in kdepim HEAD is (IMHO) much better. And Kontact is by now more or 
less equal to kdepim, since most kdepim applications have at least some 
connection to Kontact.

Yes, there is a file in kdepim README.Kolab that explains what should be set 
up. There is also an Open Office document that describes all of the process. 
This document is available in CVS, but we will publish it somehow soon.

And even though I keep telling Cornelius it's not required, I still would like 
to have a wizard to make the setup at least easier than it is now.

Bo.
