New mailing list and online documentation

[Lennart]

Hi Mike,

Sruli asked a similar question on the other list: 
http://kolab.dlnet.org/listserver/hyperkitty/list/users@kolab.dlnet.org/thread/2PVVAWT7SFK77JICUDIHQL5DFNST32NX/

In summary: Apheleia IT has a bunch of developers that are still working 
on the Kolab code and publishing on git.kolab.org. (They probably own 
the rights of the name "Kolab" as well.) Since there are few community 
developers, it makes more sense to stay close to the official project. 
Unfortunately Apheleia IT seems less keen to engage with the community, 
so we have to improvise.

Best,

Lennart
