Hi All, This sounds like a good proposal to me. It is important for developers to be able to support apps for eGW and/or Tine; (almost) nobody wants to abandon the eGW 1.x codeline, and (almost) everybody appreciates the Tine input ans is waiting for the result of the proof of concept.
IMHO the opinion of users is not relevant here (on the short term!), since the eGW codeline will be maintainted in this proposal, so users have achoice. In the long term, *only* the users matter; whatever they choose will be the future of eGW; in the end, a good concept without users is just a waste of time.
