55,000 euros is $66,600 US dollars...hehe :) Yes, that would be a
potential
way to get it done, and if I had available cash, I would definitely pitch
in.
Actually here is my blog post about what will it cost to do 'cool
development' of OOo and also ways to raise that money:

On the other hand, I've discovered Chandler.
http://chandler.osafoundation.org/ Chandler is part of the OSA Foundation
(Open Source Application Foundation) started by Mitch Kapor, who
previously
founded Lotus Development corporation and co-founded the Electronic
Frontier
Foundation.
Their main focus at the moment is the Calendar part of the application,
but
looking through the Chandler specs, by the time they reach 1.0 it will
be an
Outlook competitor, and looks like it will be better than Outlook in most
every way. My current plan on the Winblows platform is to limp along
using
Outlook as my PIM and OOo for my office suite until Chandler reaches the
1.0
release. I will continue to explore other alternatives in the meanwhile
however.
Perhaps the powers that be in OOo can contact OSAF and start working
together to make sure Chandler is as tightly intergrated with OOo as
Outlook
is with M$Office...just a thought. :)

I fully agree. I have subscribed this malinglist only to "complain" that
there is no PIM in OOo . . . such a shame :( really important to make a
good PIM/mailing program part of OOo to make it used widely.
Please, do something with it and OOo will be the best than !

I made a sound study about developing a PIM and came up with a total cost
of 55,000 euros to produce on a space of 3-6 months. I guess if people
are
really into it they can chip in some hard cold cash. :)
