Aaron Seigo Talks About Kontact's Bright Future
===============================================

   Sirius' [http://www.siriusit.co.uk] Tom Callway interviews KDE's
chief-hugger Aaron Seigo
[http://www.siriusit.co.uk/myblog/interview-aaron-seigo-kde-project-lead.html].
He talks about KDE 4, communication within the project and what effect
the 'new platforms' (Windows and Mac OS) have on KDE development. Seigo
also talks about the KDE 4.0 release and how that compares to the 2.0
and 3.0 releases of KDE. About Kontact, he explains, "We are going to
see some very interesting developments happening when Kontact is
available on all platforms. For instance, finally there will be a
groupware solution that looks and behaves exactly the same on all
platforms (a support win) that lets you choose your groupware server (a
server side win). Kontact represents the client side of the first
realistically competitive threat to the Exchange-plus-Outlook hegemony.
And that's just one application."
