[GroupDAV] GroupDAV OSX future prospects (was update on GroupDAV connector)

[Mathew McBride]

Impending CalDAV support in iCal.app (possibly AddressBook.app too), and
various GroupDAV servers* has worried me - no doubt a good plugin may
service users better*, but I can't justify developing it without knowing
theres an audience out there - thanks to those who've responded.

I intend to grab a copy of 10.5 when it comes out (early next month) and
re-release a GroupDAVOSX preview for it.

(Don't try the current one. Its got an ugly bug that can wipe calendars in
certain circumstances. Might put out the updated one for the likes of kelly)

* preemptive-strike: even if its been 'forced' by the market. GroupDAVOSX
will come regardless, I and others need it now, not when CalDAV ends up
being implemented in Citadel etc.
* iCal.app's 'tight' integration with iCal Server (lets not assume it will
work perfectly with others right away) might drive us that way. I'll see how
others (i.e Snerdware for Exchange) deal with it..
