            Bug ID: 311112
          Severity: normal
           Version: 1.8.1
          Priority: NOR
                CC: kdepim-bugs at kde.org, vkrause at kde.org
          Assignee: tokoe at kde.org
           Summary: No easy way to share distribution lists
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: bugs at clearingstelle-eeg.de
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Contacts resource
           Product: Akonadi

The old style distribution lists are not any longer recognized (see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303682#c3). The new akonadi-style
distribution lists (eg found in XML files like
~/.local/share/contacts/{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}.ctg) have only
references internal to akonadi (UIDs) - so there seems to be nothing which
could be used to define shared distribution lists across different
machines/users/akonadi instances.

Together with the various bugs regarding distribution lists defined in
groupware servers this is a bad situation in any professional office
environment. Since the last few options to use KDE3 in a reasonable way are
fading now, I will have to migrate my small enterprise (~15 people) to KDE 4
soon. They will not be amused to have to cope with this crippled functionality.

Reproducible: Always
