Hi,
I installed the Alpha connector and tried to configure a file backed
account but I continually get "Please Configure an Open Connector"
How do I get started?

Hello,
Thanks for your continued interest in Outlook
Connector.
Yes we have been taking our time on this one
haven't we :)
The project is moving forward though. I am
hoping that stable, functioning betas will
attract new resources to the project in the
future. But as you've suspected, as of now,
resources are very limited.
Quick status
1. MAPI Message Storage Provider and MAPI
Transport provider both work. There hasn't
been _any_ performance optimization on those
yet, so expect a first run of >3mins and
subsequent startups may take that long as
well. Performance optimization is scheduled
for last. But the core functionality for
adding/deleting/modifying CalDAV events on
CalDAV servers work and have been tested
on Cosmo [ http://cosmo.osafoundation.org ]
and Oracle CalDAV [ not released as yet ].
2. The final major component left for
development, The address book provider is
being worked on. This where I've been
spending my dev time lately. This will will
allow the sharing of individual calendars.
I estimate this component can be in Beta
with a solid month on development; but that
depends on our our other/paid projects are
going.
3. Working on getting Bedework CalDAV
[ http://bedework.org ] support done.
4. The MS2 is 'Milestone 2'. The current
build on sourceforge is 'Milestone 1'.
That was the first 'release' build of the
project that would actually do something
useful. It will add/modify/delete CalDAV
events on a CalDAV server. MS2 fixes a
few annoying bugs so that users can test
individual calendars a bit more. It also
introduces a new refactored set of
objects in the two providers, and a stub
provider for the adress book. I hope to
put this out by Wednesday, but as usual
things are being delayed by other
projects, so maybe this weekend instead.
As soon as it is verified that the recent
changes have not broken the CalDAV
protocol interaction with the supported
servers ( Bedework, Cosmo, Oracle ), it
will be released.
After we have the address book provider working
I will focus on speed/memory optimization and
the random features that testers may require.
The 3 month target is definitely doable. I'd
like it to be more like 2. But that's not 100%
up to me. Someone with very strong C++/Win32/
COM experience and has access to the relevant
tools ( MSVC 2005, Outlook 2003 ) would make a
_huge_ difference if they put in a 5+ hrs/week
on this. Also access to funds to open tickets
with MS, get other consultants, offset time
expense would help as well.
Best regards,
Kervin

I've been following this project since 2005 (and
occasionally before
then). Since the 6/12/06 Alpha release, there has
been no messaging on
the list. But I do see that the SVN has much more
activity, entirely by
Kervin (as is practically all development for the
length of the
project). Now some source is "Ready for server
testing, prior to MS2.",
but I don't know what that means.
Is this a one-man project, with basically only
Kervin producing it? Has
it stalled? Is there any chance that it will produce
a releasable
connector within the next 3-9 months running as it
is currently?
