so using the open-exchange lib is now the direction of the eds project? Is this a new direction (ie you just heard about it, and think it's a good idea)? Or, was it a strategic decision taken by the entire team some time ago, and just in the next couple weeks your time has cleared to get started on it? Frankly I don't see much commitment here to get this done ... why is that? I am not criticising you in this Varadhan ... but rather wondering out loud why for so long this project has had such little commitment of resources? Perhaps not enough people within Novell/Gnome really "get" just how badly the evo exchange connection is required in order to get traction with a linux desktop? At any rate -- to me, it would be very good if, when installing evo, if I could select from amongst the various "connector" styles. I would like to see as menu options "traditional evo connector" and brutus connector (yes, which will assume the process is installed out there somewhere). Hopefully this open exchange lib will provide so traction, quickly too .... it is ridiculous that I have to have a windows vm and Outlook in order to view a shared calendar or function even reasonably well with exchange. I've said it before, and can only re-enforce the message ... right now it is a deal breaker for wider corp adoption of linux desktop. Please get some resources on it and make it a PRIORITY.
