Hi! |

Kolab (http://www.kolab.org) is an IMAP based groupware server that |
| 4 |
works with a variety of clients. The server is usually deployed on the |
| 5 |
OpenPKG distribution which allows to preconfigure the complex |
| 6 |
combination of postfix, cyrus imap, openldap, amavisd etc. This |
| 7 |
significantly reduces the effort for the system administrator to get |
| 8 |
the groupware server up and running. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I have been working on integrating this groupware server natively into |
| 11 |
Gentoo for two years now. The "kolab2" overlay provides the native |
| 12 |
server version since about one and a half years. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
There is still a lot of work necessary to get the upstream code into |
| 15 |
shape so that it has the necessary quality to package it in a sane way |
| 16 |
for portage. I'm working on that. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The project has advanced far enough though that I feel it is a good |
| 19 |
time point to declare this a real Gentoo project. |

|
| 23 |
A first target of the project will be the integration of Kolab |
| 24 |
specific patches into the packages "net-libs/c-client", "dev-lang/php" |
| 25 |
as well as "net-mail/cyrus-imapd". |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I know there are other developers (and probably many users) interested |
| 28 |
in the Kolab server project and I'd be glad if people join the effort. |

Cheers, |
