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. "

    Now all we need to do is get Microsoft to adopt the GroupDAV protocol in Exchange/Outlook.

    I feel confident this can be done on February 30th of this year.

      If Microsoft adopted it then you wouldn't be able to say... the GroupDAV effort is backed by real code that works today. ...at least not until the third version came out.

    It's when everyone dresses alike, sorta like Garanimals.

    Not, uh, that I would know what Garanimals is.
