I'm not sure there's any great mystery here... Sun has a calendar server product in its portfolio[1], and in addition to the web interface that provides, Sun has contributed both code to Lightning and a plugin to Evolution to ensure that both the supported calendar clients in the OpenSolaris desktop can talk to it via WCAP. So that, presumably, is the calendar solution that Sun would like you to deploy in your enterprise-- although both clients can of course also talk to other types of server with the appropriate plugins. As to whether dtcm will go away... AFAIK, yes, that's the plan. Cheeri, Calum.
