The GroupDAV ones should work with OGo too, minus bugs which might  
need a fix of course.

There are no specific release timelines, at least on my side  
development is mostly customer driven (not only projects directly  
related to OGo, but also such which produce enough revenue so that I  
can take time off to do work on OGo ;-)

No. And this will probably take a while, we currently use Java to  
build highly customized frontends to the OGo backend. Anyways, its the  
'plan' to build a 'generic' frontend using Java as well.
Eventually all services might be ported to Java, but the pressure is  
very low since the ObjC ones are working reasonably well.
