Hello Group, I have been asked by a few parties interested in the project for a status update. It is hard to estimate the amount of work that's left to do, because a large part of this project is figuring out what works with MAPI rather than writing against a clearly defined specification.
We are aiming for an May 1st public beta. That's a tight deadline, but possible if everything goes as planned. This schedule also assumes our current resource levels. Things would move faster with more assistance. You can donate to the project at http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=66565 Proceeds go towords paying software consultant time on the project. A. MAPI Message Store 1. There is a lot of pre-beta testing required for the core message store classes. ( Approx. 20-40 hours ) 2. Hard coded debug breakpoints will have to be replaced with message boxes and error handling code. ( Approx. 10-20 hours ) 3. Library wide speed and space optimizations. ( Approx. 20-40 hours ) 4. LibIcal needs to be converted to 64bit time utilizing windows time API. ( Approx. 40-120 hours ) 5. MAPI Message object-to-ICal import and export functions ( Approx. 20-40 hours ) 6. Completion of miscellaneous minor MAPI API features. ( Approx. 40-80 hours ) 7. Message store-to-transport provider synchonization API for syncing local message store cache with remote calendar. ( Approx. 20-40 hours ) 8. Complete config GUI. ( Approx. 10-20 hours ) 9. Add uninstall support to ochelper.exe ( Approx. 10-20 hours ) 10. Library wide memory management code. Most likely using 'Boost' libraries. ( Approx. 20-40 hours ) B. MAPI Transport Provider 1. Completion of necessary MAPI transport classes. ( Approx. 40-80 hours ) 2. Reach CalDAV protocol handling milestone for Beta 1 level access. ( Approx. 20-40 hours ) Best Regards, Kervin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
