Hello everyone,
I took about a month long break to finish up the spring semester and to start work on a new contract. But connector work will start up sometime next week.
The summer goal is to have a beta connector that connects to the CalDAV reference server. It would be great to have some help getting there.
The server component I've settled on, at least initially is "Cosmo" CalDAV server, which is in early Alpha release stages but is set to be the CalDAV reference server. Temporary homepage for Cosmo can be found at http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Journal/CosmoTempHome CalDAV homepage http://ietf.webdav.org/caldav/home.html Other backends will certainly be possible by modifying the transport layer a bit to support the respective protocols.
As for the technical details; Currently, Outlook tries to download messages into the message store but does not complete because a few methods on the IMsgStore interface need to be implemented. This is the obvious next step. Our IMAPITable interface needs 'Sort' functionality implemented, as well 'in-memory views' support and few other improvement. IMessage interface still needs to be implemented. Then the fun with the transport provider starts.
Work is needed getting a C++ client library for CalDAV, at least prototyped soon or any time before work on the transport provider starts. The current plan is to do something from scratch using MSXML library. This means that all of the WebDAV protocol that CalDAV requires will have to be done. This needs to start soon if not to delay the completion of the transport provider.
PS. The website [ http://openconnector.org/ ] seems to be working fine for me.
Regards, Kervin

Hello,
I have just started searching for a way to connect Outlook to an open source server for calendaring purposes mainly. In the process I found out about this project, but I was unable to access the web site and I noticed the last e-mails on the list were from April, so I wanted to find out if this project was still alive or not.
Thanks for the information.
