a few questions

Hello!

I'm new to the list, and have done some general browsing around on the 
kolab.org and kroupware.org pages - and I have a few questions.

For one, I'm a little confused concerning the differentiation/split between 
the  "kolab" and the "kroupware" projects.  It was my impression that 
kroupware was the original commercial project which kolab sprang from, and 
that kroupware is now deprecated in lieu of the community kolab effort.

However, the kolab pages keep redirecting to the kroupware site for 
documentation and downloads - both of which appear to be outdated. On the 
main kroupware.org page, it indicates that kolab 1.0.5 was the last and 
latest release, on Aug 16th... almost a year ago. Yet, 
http://kroupware.org/howto-kolab.html states: 
"You'll find the current (>=1.0.8) Kolab Server source releases at:
www.erfrakon.de/projects/kolab/download/".  To confuse matters worse,
the download link takes you to a directory listing, providing 
'kolab-server-1.0' rather than 'kolab-server-1.0.x'. Drilling into the src 
dir, there's 4 different kolab rpms!  Then after perusing the mailing list 
archives, I get clued onto 
'ftp.kolab.org/kolab/server/development/current/sources'... but of course 
there is no link or explanation regarding these sources anywhere that I can 
find on the kolab site... Not to mention the zfos site that apparently also 
has repackaged Kolab or something, heck I don't know - I only found out about 
that through the gentoo user forums... This is exasperating. 

So the problem I see here is a confusing lack of organization and cohesion - 
as a curious potential new user, I'm presented with many hurdles, 
redirection, and uncertainty. Is there something I'm missing, or is this 
truly an accurate assesment of kolab's current situation?

Questions I noted while going through all this - hopefully someone could help 
me out and answer them:

Why am I still being directed to the 'kroupware' site, when 'kolab' is the 
current community site?

Which _is_ the correct latest, "bestest" source, and where do I get it?

Which is the correct latest, "bestest" documentation, and where do I get it?

Why doesn't the kolab community site host and provide the current 
documentation and sources -  in a more intuitive manner? Are there any plans 
to correct the situation? Is it merely a matter of a lack of man-power? Where 
can I help?


Thanks!

Corey
