packaging of upcoming version 2.2 (see [:Kolab:wiki:Kolab]); upstream uses OpenPKG

[http://sourceforge.net/projects/modcaldav/ mod_caldav]

{X}

not packaged, single developer and requires patches to apache source

[http://www.opengroupware.org/ ?OpenGroupware.org]

{X}

[http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-ogo/ Alioth pkg-ogo] -- It's GPL; why is no one packaging? Previous packages [http://bugs.debian.org/285949 removed] (RoM). [http://www.opengroupware.org/en/install/debian/index.html Upstream packages] available. Nobody is working on Debian packages. Upstream development slow/unclear. Needs special fork of gnustep-make to build

[http://sogo.opengroupware.org/ Scalable ?OpenGroupware.org]

{X}

(fork of OpenGroupware.org) not packaged; Patched to build with official gnustep-make as available in sid (compare ?OpenGroupware); providing a good default-configuration/debconf-support will be a bit difficult; upstream software has RC status, but has promising functionality (see below)

[http://www.open-xchange.com/ Open-Xchange]

{X}

packaging being prepared, see ["Open-Xchange"]; lots of dependencies need to be prepared

Features

Roughly, we consider groupware to include:

  • email
  • addressbook
  • calendar
  • tasks
  • notes

and integration between these components.

Other functionality such as chat or ticket systems are not considered on this page.

GroupDAV protocol

It appears there has been some work 3 years ago, but it's discontinued. Alternatively there's a GPLv2 Add-on [http://www.inverse.ca/english/contributions/sogo_connector.html SOGo Connector] supporting GroupDAV contacts and freebusy info

(./) (calendars and addressbooks)

[http://svn.opengroupware.org/viewcvs/evolution-groupdav/?root=OGoProjects evolution-groupdav] plugin had no commits in 15 months. Fails to compile on sid. Old [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=310834 ITP] was closed a year ago.

SyncML protocol

No CalDAV support in Kontact, but it actually works to some degree using the "remote file" KDE resource.
