In that case, I have a question: How would one go about using Evolution to share calendars between users in a corporate environment without going the Exchange Server (and thus CALs) route? Would something like a separate connector be needed? Currently, I know of no open-source solution to this problem. I can currently build an IMAP server that supports acls and shared mailboxes, combined with an OpenLDAP server that supports address books and authentication. The only thing missing would be sharing calendars.
Any plans for another connector? (Or publishing specs for writing a
connector? Not that I'm a developer, but I'm sure SOMEONE would like to
know about this - Bynari, maybe...?)
