No problem! Maybe I used the wrong words.
Its the thing, as you mentioned, that there are many projects and just a 
few support a more or less useable interface. This project gives, 
hopefully, a good platform for other projects.

All I want to clearify is the position of this project regarding other 
(mail-)clients. Now for me its clear, that other projects are welcome 
and it shouldnt be too complicated to realize. Fine. :-)


So finally, is someone interested to found a project or join the 
existing calendar team and develop a compatible client?
