chicken and egg scenario! if there was a solid, compelling groupware solution (ie Zimbra!) on the server side that supported caldav maybe the clients would be deployed much quicker. zimbra is currently difficult to deploy across an enterprise because of the lack of interaction with other clients for major things such as contacts and calendering. caldav looks like it will be the dominant protocol, and even though its early days its support in zimbra would allow many different types of software to work with it now, even if those clients aren't very good yet. what about iCal? wouldn't caldav provision work nearly as well as isync? i see more and more offices starting to deploy firefox/thunderbird combination - as lightning/sunbird becomes more usable it would be an obvious addition. |
