My goal is NOT to target other developers. My goal is to target users that *HAVE* to have exchange because they: 1) *HAVE* to use Outlook. 2) *HAVE* to have real groupware capabilities (calendaring, etc.) 3) Refuse to give up Outlook for a web-based impl.
The users will change if they don't know that the change happened. Then things like Evolution and other clients can plug into an OSS impl.
