Nice! :-)

OK.

Function names and stuff in the connector itself, plus the labels in  
the UI.

OK, do you plan to extend Evolution UI to access OGo features not  
available in Evo itself?

Hm, "differences"? Those are different entities :-) GroupDAV is a  
protocol which works against several servers, including OGo.  
Obviously it doesn't address features which are unique to OGo.

OK. The point of GroupDAV (as with any standard ...) is that the  
incident for other people to help with the connector gets raised. If  
its "just" an OGo connector, only OGo people are interested to fix bugs.

Of course an OGo specific connector can integrate better with OGo  
which is also nice ;-)

Ack.
