2.4 is the intermediate release after all, and for Kolab 2 we're still 
tied in to Horde for Free/Busy, the kolabfilter and kolabmailboxfilter, 
and the parsing of the format.

Read about some of the background if you haven't already;

I would love for individual distribution packagers to start packaging 
though, as stand-alone products including (but not limited to) pykolab, 
libkolabxml, libkolab, kolab-webadmin and roundcubemail{,-plugins-kolab} 
are carried forward.

There's enough work right there, I reckon, and the Kolab 3.0 release is 
due early June. Plenty of time for someone like myself to do things in 
~40 hours a week all-paid-for (+ ~odd hours, naturally :P), very much 
not the same thing for part-time or spare-time volunteers.

Sorry, this doesn't parse... "could the change from (...) to (...)" 
what?

Kind regards,
