As Bo wrote above Intevation does the project management.=20
I'm the project coordinator, my backup is Jan-Oliver Wagner.
Naturally isn't we manage the project in a way that everything fits togethe=

Bo is right in the sence that I'm not the technical leader like many Free S=
oftware project have.
Our developers (like Bo or Tassilo) are experts and know about the detailed=
 design
and implementation. My role as coordinatior is to moderate the participatin=
g experts.

The Kroupware project itself is about the contract.
We hope to finish it as soon as we can. :)

But as Bo already pointed out the Free Software compoments
we created and improved will live on, that will be the Kolab Server
and the Kolab Client capabilities of KDE, namely KMail, KOrganizer and Kont=
act.

Naturally when we do not have a contract to actively work on these
=46ree Software projects we have to limit the time we do work on them.
(We would love to work a lot on it, but we are a commercial entity and=20
basically need to get payed for it.)
We are open and looking to getting more contracts to work on the software.
