CalDAV from Sunbird is working in recent builds.  There is now a
GroupDAV plugin for Thunderbird -

> If you can't sync your program directly with GroupDAV, you can use 
> SyncML protocol as an intermediate layer.  Usually this means installing 
> Funambol synchronization server and  GroupDAV plugin for it. GroupDAV 
> plugin handles communication between Funambol and OpenGroupware. This 
> way you can synchronize pretty much any SyncML capable program/device 
> with OGo. Of course you will run into various problems (time issues, 
> strange error messages, etc.) but it can be done. You can even (try to) 
> sync OGo with Outlook by using the Funambol outlook plugin (=plugin for 
> outlook) and GroupDAV plugin.
