Would be good to have some automatic configuration for Horde to play with 
Kolab at once. Small companies want to just install and run, not spending 
hours for a (default) installation (which is indeed important for big 
installations with more than one server). This is what MS makes so popular 
- install a Small Office edition and everything is ready (at least for 
those people which are not familiar with security and stability issues). So 
a quick installation and setup process would bring a lot of benefit for 
Kolab and integrated/recommended projects.

WRT package maintenance, what ideas do you have for package updates and 
repackaging for new relases? For example, I am using SuSE in the office. We 
get updates from them (especially security related ones) and installing 
means simply a "rpm -Uhv". From time to time we update the whole 
distribution (I moved from 7.3 to 8.1 some time ago).
How will Kolab be maintained? I mean, getting an Apache security update for 
my distribution is not a big deal, but how can I be sure to get the same 
level of support for Kolab? Is this something left to the distributors? Are 
there any contacts already?
And, SuSE has it's own Open Exchage server product...
