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.
