Given some CAP code, plugging it in to Evolution wouldn't be too hard. But the traffic on ietf-calendar hasn't been very encouraging lately. (Eg, the argument about whether or not the client has to explicitly create free/busy information in order for another client to be able to query it.) I'm not sure it's going to be usable any time soon. :-/ > I�ve already had talks with a German OS project who think the Outlook > plugin is not so bad. Plugging a *mail* backend into Outlook is pretty well documented, but doing calendar stuff requires all sorts of undocumented hacks. But I'm sure *someone* will eventually write a CAP plugin for it. > I think Lotus Notes are moving to get CAP client/server working > for their offering (as main chatter on the calsch list is from there). Not sure. I think the next big release of Notes+Domino is too soon to plausibly include CAP support, so it may be a while still. Likewise for Exchange, since Exchange 2003 doesn't have CAP support. (AFAICT from their web sites, neither Lotus nor Microsoft have announced any official plans to support CAP yet.) Novell's web site says that Groupwise and NetMail (their new server) will both eventually support CAP (and there's been a lot of Novell activity on the ietf-calendar list too). Sun, Oracle, and Meetingmaker say their servers will too, though I don't think I've seen anyone from Sun or Oracle on the list. -- Dan _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
