Could you please describe what is functional for the Contacts and what
not? We did not get anything to run for the contacts here...

I agree with you, but - to have a little bit a "customers" standpoint -
for the OpenGroupware Versions which are part of a selling offer, I
would think that it should be a work mainly support by the commercial
vendors of those versions... 

Somehow, the whole situation seems quite disappointing for me/my company
as pure users:

We are mainly using Evolution as our mail/calendar clients, we have a
few outlook users, some MacOS users... then, what would be the best
solution for shared calendars and shared contacts? OGO with commercial
Zidestore? Skalix? Groupwise? Citadel?

BTW: What is the status about the Evo GroupDAV Plugin and Citadel? Is
this more promising?

Best regards
 Stephan

P.S. Please do not blame me for having a "customer attitude" on OSS
projects. We could spend some (very little) money in that. I am just
astonished, that there was no real evolution on the whole Evo/OGO (or
GroupWare at all) issue in the last years (up to what I see...)
