Hello Hugo,

just in order avoid you drawing wrong conclusions, I would like to 
rectify some statements below:

While evolution-kolab may still have some weaknesses, it has been 
properly working, tested and used since late summer 2011.
It sure will build on Fedora, if someone experienced in packaging will 
take the effort.

Development initially happened for GNOME / Evolution 2.30 and switched 
to 3.3 in December 2011. 
evolution-kolab is part of the Evolution source distribution since the 
release of 3.4, see [0].

Note that Evolution / Evolution-Data-Server 3.4.x are required to build
the corresponding 3.4.x release of evolution-kolab. There is no way to
mix and match different releases of Evolution, E-D-S and evolution-kolab,
and still get a working software stack. This means that Evolution/E-D-S
versions 2.32.x as well as 3.0.x and 3.2.x are not supported by
evolution-kolab.

Yes, this is the correct location to adress evolution-kolab development.
The evolution-kolab Wiki page [1] also has helpful bits of information.

Kind regards,

	Christian
