Hi there,

a couple of months ago, we decided to test out some groupware =20
solutions for our chair (about 20 users) and found that OGo seems to =20
fit best for our needs. However, there have been a couple of bugs and =20=

annoyances with it, so we decided to again compare what's on the market.

Still, OGo is a hot candidate, mainly because of CalDAV / GroupDAV =20
support. We need write access to calendaring data and we need it for =20
Windows, Linux and Mac users. But, while on the OGo Website we see =20
the ads for GroupDAV support and while OGo is listed as one of the =20
solutions on the GroupDAV site, we could only download and test =20
Instant OGo which obviously doesn't manage write access. At least our =20=

tests with Kontact and Sunbird failed.

> kontact --version
> Qt: 3.3.6
> KDE: 3.5.5
> Kontact: 1.2.3

So, my question is: where to get a newer version of OGo?

We are currently using Ubuntu Edgy and would definitely prefer a =20
package for that distro. Should we go for the source package of the =20
newest unstable release, try the Feisty package of 1.1.6/yummy (the =20
list of distros is changing quite a lot between point releases) or =20
stick with 1.0.0? We would like to try out CalDAV / GroupDAV before =20
we judge, if we want to deploy OGo ...

Yours, Mark
