Project status and plans

[chbusold]

Hi,

thanks for this project, which looks quite interesting. From my experiments with this code, it does not seem to be ready for a production environment with the latest RC. Is this your goal and what would be necessary to achieve that?

Do you have any idea about the state of the upstream project? Is Kolab still being developed?

Thanks,
Christoph

My main aim was to incorporate the webdav implementation into the current calendar implementation to create a cleaner version that does not suffer from library versions from the last decade. What sabotaged that plan was the fact that the roundcube team stopped updating the official plugin (https://plugins.roundcube.net/#/packages/kolab/calendar)

Speaking of the Kolab project: That is a good question^^
I see that they are still updating the original repository and roundcube itself clearly is still being developed. So it does not seem to be dead. But at the same time they stopped updating their github mirrors (which in turn means that the official plugin repository is not updated anymore either).
That means I have no chance to get this project upstream (which I was silently hoping for) and its also a huge hassle to keep the calendar up to date (the original source code is still accessible at their diffusion repository but it is structured differently so all changes have to be copied over manually)

So yeah. My motivation for this project is quite low at the moment. I am happy to incorporate PRs. But I dont feel like working for a company who only updates their open source project for their paid version.

mmh, I had a look at – https://github.com/kolab-roundcube-plugins-mirror/ - it seems like this isn't a official mirror, the contributers are not employed at kolab. you may give this project a chance and mirror it for yourself?

This project is indeed a fork of the repo you mentioned ^^

@JodliDev Didn't dig deep into it, but the original github mirror now links here: https://git.kolab.org/diffusion/RPK/branches/master/ - perhaps that's something you can use as a source?

@jniggemann
This is their main repository. In the past they mirrored it to the github repository (so in turn, this project is a fork of the diffusion repository you mentioned). They have always linked to it.

In the past I did manualy copy over some commits from their diffusion repository. But honestly, that is just a pain.
I am sure there are ways to streamline this process (bundling my changes into a patch to make things easier would be the first step - I should have done that from the start). But I am not willing to do that.

Last time I checked, my feeling was that it is only a matter of time until they set their diffusion repository to private. All other channels for collaboration seem to be abandoned.

So I am considering this project as abandoned. If anybody wants to fork it or build on my work, they should.
Sorry guys
