GroupDAV: Standardizing Groupware

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the everybody-likes-standards-right dept.

IGnatius T Foobar writes "There are lots of open source groupware products out there, but the perpetual problem has always been that we don't have a single, unified standard protocol to connect open source groupware clients to open source groupware servers. GroupDAV changes all that. Support for GroupDAV now exists in Citadel, OpenGroupware.org, KDE Kontact, and connectors are currently in beta for Evolution and Mozilla Sunbird. Unlike CAP and CalDAV, the GroupDAV effort is backed by real code that works today. "

    I've been bitching about that for a LONG time now, and Sunbird/etc has really progressed no further. It can't even read its *own* invites sometimes.
    I suspect that it can't read its invites because Sunbird has never sent email invitations. Ever. Not even once when it thought you weren't looking.

    I'm sorry that your bitching (always productive) has not driven Sunbird progress to new paroxysms of productivity, but I wasn't able to find anything in the Calendar product in bugzilla.mozilla.org filed by, commented-on, or even cc:d to anyone with "pbp.net" in their email address. Can you direct me to your bug report? I suspect it needs to be marked INVALID, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

    Mike (who marks these things "insightful", anyway?)
