IF you want to try another groupware server, I finally made up ebuilds for Scalable OpenGroupware.org, SOGo for short. These are available in the GNUstep overlay for now (it seems to work fine, but I lack the full server installation needed to completely test it, mostly an IMAP server with LDAP backend).
From the SOGO folks:
SOGo is a free and modern scalable groupware server. It offers shared calendars, address books and emails through your favorite Web browser or by using a native client such as Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning. SOGo is standard-compliant and supports CalDAV, CardDAV, GroupDAV and reuses existing IMAP, SMTP and database servers – making the solution easy to deploy and interoperable with many applications.
For the curious, a demo web site is running here. Feedback appreciated of course if you try it on Gentoo
On other news, I noticed that the Window Maker web site is back up, stating:
windowmaker.info Back Online posted on 2008-06-30 09:04:16 by kairi
windowmaker.info has been brought online as of early July, 2008. We are currently working on reimplementing the site in a more modern, safe fashion, while at the same time restoring all services required for development and communication. With that said, we are working very hard to revitalize Window Maker’s presence on X Window (and perhaps beyond) desktops. With this new focus, we can now truly assert that Window Maker will be resuming active development very soon. We expect to once again provide the de-facto minimalist yet extremely functional window manager to the world.
This has been my main window manager since… well a loooong time, I’m crossing fingers and hoping it will really come back from the dead projects world!
Oh, and if you did not get the news, 2008.0 is here! Thanks release engineering team members
I almost forgot: congratulations to the new Council members, both veterans and newcomers!
