Sounds cool. I'll take a look. I think it might take a bit to get over
my worry about Zarafa - it is, after all, explicitly designed to be an
open core, cheaper Exchange replacement for Exchange shops. But then eGW
is also open core-ish, although its open source version is stable,
mature, and does what we need (and really a lot more than we need).

Interesting! I hadn't heard about that. Will look at it.

Sounds good. I think quite a bit of that is still accurate, but I don't
think FAS authentication is really required (especially in the 'just a
few people with write access' scenario I suggested), and I'd like to
have sync made a 'must have', especially since so many people use phones
these days. It needs to be sync rather than one-time import/export,
because if we delay the release, we'd wind up with a mess unless the
calendars are actually _synced_.

Sounds good. I'll make a note on my todo to take a look at the zarafa
instance when it's updated, check out that drupal module, and propose a
revision to the 'requirements' list.
