Horde not working with my Kolab

you will have to check out HEAD. I need to work with HEAD so that
there is a chance that my patches get in. I did update the patches
attached to the "Share driver" bug
(http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/?id=4263). So they should currently
apply cleanly to Horde HEAD.

Hm, I am confused by that. The current Horde::DOM package has been
derived from exactly that script and should provide all functionality
necessary for Kolab. But maybe that is also caused by the fact that
you do not use HEAD. But this should definitely not be
necessary. Horde::DOM has been specifically created for wrapping the
domxml problem.

free/busy is something that currently does not work between Horde and
Kolab. There are still some minor bugs. I identified a few of these
last week and it is working on my servers now. But I still need to
prepare the patches and send them upstream.

Yes, I started putting some installation hints on the wiki page
(http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Horde). They will only help experts
in their current state but hopefully the patches get included upstream
soon. Then it makes sense to correct the installation instructions for
the new code.

Cheers,

Gunnar
