Not yet. The first packages you'll get from me will be available on  
6.12.10 as indicated in the road map.

Looking forward to it :)

Imminent but nothing yet.

Building Kolab Server packages is somewhat independent of the actual  
Horde release. At least as long as we are in "alpha" stage.

It is just very important for me to get the Kolab part straightened  
out early on. When I started with Horde development for Horde3 this  
branch was already well underway and I had to respect backwards  
compatibility. I learned from that (and of course other things) and  
want some things to be different this time :)

Cheers,

Gunnar
