I agree with you that we should start very soon. On the other hand I am n=
ot so=20
keen on discussing to many fundamental architecture/design decissions bec=
ause=20
imho it is very important to get a generally usable kolab client very soo=
n.

Due to the fact that Kalle et al. tried to seperate kroupware stuff from=20
general KM/KO stuff wherever reasonable the merge should be rather straig=
ht=20
forward.=20

On the other hand as soon as we got a successful merge and the kolab clie=
nt=20
builts nicely I am open for discussions how to improve future=20
maintainability. The later is very important for the mid- and longterm=20
success.

Kalle: Can you please comment on your intentions with regards to merging?

BTW: We still need a name for the client. Someone proposed koala which I=20
personally like pretty much. What do you think?

Yours,
