Not sure what you mean by that, probably you refer to the OGo 1.0  
ZideStore not having PUT support for vCards?

So, yes, the OGo ZideStore server (1.5) _does_ support creation of  
contacts (person and company) using vCard/GroupDAV. This was  
sponsored by the Junta de Andalusia / Yaco.

I suppose you should just post your questions to this list. I'm not  
the original author but maybe I or someone else can help :-)

Nice!

I have no idea how good the codebase is from an Evolution 2.6 point  
of view. You can probably tell us? ;-)

What Svn tree do you use as a basis? (My branch, or something from  
Robert?) Where should we put the source code tree, should we setup a  
new Svn repository at developer.opengroupware.org?
Let us know what we can do to help you!

Thanks a lot!
