Thanks everyone for the infos - thought I expected a different answer,
from reading some of the previous threads.

Anyway the GroupDAV support of eGroupWare seems to be working by now in
our trunk svn. Maybe I will backport it for the next maintainance
release 1.4.003, to make it available for a bigger audience.

What do I need to do to get eGroupWare listed on www.groupdav.org?
