yes, i'm running it in production right now. it's a little rough around the 
corners as far as confguration gos, but it's been pretty solid thus far and 
once past the config annoyances the users are seeming to be pretty happy with 
it.

i didn't bother installing it within the kolab environment, however, since i 
didn't feel like recompiling and tweaking apache and php. instead i just set 
it up in a "regular" apache + php environment on the box and it works quite 
well. 

really, my only complaint at this point was the amount of tweaking i ended up 
doing to get decent performance and a nice look. it's not yet for the faint 
of heart, but if you're a decent sys admin you won't have any problems.

i'm not sure where you got this impression from, but kontact will remain a 
groupware client first and foremost.

i certainly expect to see optional CRM components arrive on the scene for 
kontact around the KDE4 time frame, though. which is a good thing as that 
will enable it to enter heretofore "hands-off" markets for open source. but 
as with all components in kontact, they will be easy to disable or even just 
not install at all.

i think it's a great compliment. i still use kontact over the web client for 
reasons of speed and integration, however.
