Hi Dirk, Yeah indeed, had my moments. > If you find something useful in my little project, I'd be honored if > you would merge some of my ideas back into the trunk.

One of my concerns with the > Openchange project has always been that it seems rather academic. It has a strong academic background and has been an applied research and development project for a long time. However I think the project bridged the gap for a couple of years now and is much more stable and usable than it used to be. We've put a lot of efforts into it ... but there is probably more to do given your statement ;-) > When you visit the web site, it's not that clear how you can actually > use it.

Actually I do fully agree with you on this: The OpenChange website lacks updated contents and the navigation pane needs to be updated to match end-users/developers expectations. We need a dedicated maintainer, editor, author. Someone who could endorse the community manager role and could blog about the project on a regular basis with an end-user/developer perspective, push useful code snipset/samples and organize the website so core developers can write useful pointers for other developers. This has been a long-time openchange team discussion back in 2008, but at this time we preferred dedicate our time on the code, features and conferences rather than website editing. We expected things to change naturally, but I guess no one can beat mother nature ;-) > And I would really appreciate it if someone more professional than me > could look at my code.

I suggest we create a ticket about this and target integration for 0.10 release due for mid-January / February 2010.
