The GetOut currently works with SOGo & Funambol v10 server but
in future I plan to add support for CalDav and CardDav
protocols to avoid Funambol server at all and sync Outlook
directly with SOGo (note that I wasn't able to find any open
source CalDav/CardDav connector for Outlook). I hope this
project can help to build truly open source groupware without
need of proprietary 3rd party modules.
I'm really sorry if this advertisement is inappropriate for
this ML.
I for one appreciate it and your efforts, but have some questions...
1. If you are successful getting full Cal/CardDAV support working,
these will/should work perfectly with older Outlook versions (2010
at least, and maybe even 2007 or even 2003)?
Yes. API which is used to communicate with Outlook is same for all
versions so same code can handle all Outlooks with very minor
modifications.
2. Will Task syncing be supported?
Yes.
3. What will be the license?
Original Funambol connector is licensed under AGPLv3 and I don't plan
to change it.
All excellent news, thanks Adam!
4. What are these 'Outlook Redemption libraries' - which are
non-free, commercially licensed - that are required for
installation, why are they needed, and will they always be needed?
I plan to get rid of Redemption libraries but not in near future. They
are used to bypass Microsoft Outlook security patch which prevents
connector to work fine without user input (you will have to confirm
that other app wants to modify your calendar etc...)
Ok, so, one follow-up question on this...
On the download site for the redemption libraries, it specifically says:
"This version displays a message box when it is installed on any computer.
It is licensed for the development purposes only and cannot be used with
any commercial software.
Includes both 32 and 64 bit versions."
http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/download.htm
I'm guessing since both SOGo and the new GetOut Connector are
free/open-source licensed, there is no problem using them until you are
able to remove the requirement?
Last question... how long do you anticipate before you have something
that is usable/ready for testing?
Thanks *very* much for your efforts!
