Thanks Serge. Having done job after job where Outlook was REQUIRED, and unable to find an OSS solution to the groupware thing where Outlook was supported, I think this needs to happen. Now is the time. Here is the place.
The world will thank us later, hopefully before we have died ;-) I laughed out loud when I saw the POI homepage. I too subscribe to the 'if M$ pays me enough, I will stop doing this', so I think Andrew and I will get along just fine. I also wanted to note that James Pricket, the original author of the icalendar code, has come back to Apache to continue the development of it. This will go a long way in helping to do the groupware thing.
