Hi Tine-Staff and eGW-Community, I think that would be a very good way to go (and maybe the only one), cause time has shown that the goals of users and developers really differ at the moment:
- a big majority wants to have the well foundated eGW with the possibility to have lot of different applications, whereas some are highly customized. - another group of devels and users (e.g. me, for several reasons) prefer to have a real kick-off ui with just some basic applications. The only thing that is mandatory here is the backwards compatibility to eGW Both ways of thinking have a right to exist and if there's a friendly connection between the devels and users of both directions, we could help one another. So, this is from my point of view a very good way to go. Thx Conny for this proposal.
