Actually you only need this if you want to read the same calendar from=20
more than one client or if you want to use the roaming capability this=20
gives you. If you just want to use local storage of the calendar, you=20
don't have to care about this. All group scheduling happens in the=20
clients.

They know about kolab, but Mozilla historically moves to new technologies=20
quite slowly (my impression, no flame intended). I also think they are=20
wise not to jump at the chance every time someone claims they have a=20
working groupware solution. That kolab works should by now be reasonably=20
established, so hopefully they'll pick it up.
