If there's a testing version available I would be glad to evaluate it if you need help. Regards Fritz GroupDAV is theoretically a subset of CalDAV, so we should be able to close this ticket once we have that. But we should at least test it with GroupDAV clients.

GroupDAV looks a bit dormant, if not dead - is this still worth keeping around? We can always have a new, un-stalled ticket if it becomes worth it later.

WebDAV works fine, CalDAV is being added soon. GroupDAV is not planned at the moment.

Hey, what's the status of DAV integration? I am currently stuck to egroupware since I want to synchronize my mobile AND use KDE's Kontact as front end. I didn't manage to get xml-rpc either. Best regards Fritz

I have not enough free time to warrant working on this without being paid at the moment, so this is going to be stalled for Horde 4 or later Horde 3.2 versions.

Jan, could you lay out a brief explanation of what work would be needed to accomplish this, both on a framework and a per-application basis, so that I can better understand it and hopefully help out?

509	Jan Schneider	Comment #6	Reply to this comment
Yes. And if we have CalDAV support, we almost (if not completely) have GroupDAV anyway.

588	Chuck Hagenbuch	Comment #5	Reply to this comment
Does GroupDAV still have enough clients behind it that we want to support it?

So, is this related to CalDAV (http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-dusseault-caldav/) at all, or is it completely different?

Good question. But we want to add WebDAV support anyway, if it isn't much work to extend this interface, we should consider it.

So, why are people reinventing SyncML?

People from KDE and OpenGroupware are trying to create an standard for synchronizing any (free) groupware server with any client. It's called GroupDav and there are plugins (in development) for Evolution and Kde-PIM (Kontact). It's based en WebDAV. It will be great to make possible to access to the data of Kronolith, MNemo, Nag, Turba, etc. through a GroupDAV interface (synchronization capabilities with Gnome, KDE, Palm, etc.).
