[Hamara-devel] kolab, sogo and roundcube

[shirish]

Hi all,
I don't know how much people know about kolab. It is a groupware server. 
See http://kolab.org/

While there are some parts of the groupware server in the Debian archive.

$] aptitude search kolab

also see https://docs.kolab.org/installation-guide/debian.html

There is still much left to do as can be seen at

https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-kolab-devel/

https://wiki.debian.org/GroupwareMeeting2015-04-24to26

and https://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Debian_-_Developers_-_Patches

It will be good if we are able to integrate kolab natively.

The other one sogo mentioned therein can be seen at http://www.sogo.nu/

see

[$] apt-cache policy sogo 

sogo:
   Installed: (none)

And lastly, see roundcube. http://www.roundcube.net/ as well as the 
fund-raiser for the newer version 
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/roundcube-next--2

Apparently, the kolab guys are helping with that as well.

Look forward to feedback on all above.

Till later.
