Hi all,

Here's an status update on the exchange 2000 plugin:
- Read appointments from an Exchange 2000 server.=20
- Handle recurrent appointments (no exception handling yet)
- Handle full-day events
- Write a single event to the server. Only a few fields are written
as of yet: start time, end time, alldayevent, free/busy, description,
summary, location. Missing most ostensably is recurrence.
- Writing to the server always creates a new event on the server.=20
The uid isn't checked, so even if the event is downloaded from the=20
server in the first place, a new one is created when uploading!

I'm putting nightly diffs of the plugin on=20
http://tux.ict.tbm.tudelft.nl/~janpascal/exchange/
The kdelibs developments needed for the exchange 2000 plugin=20
have just been committed, so only the exchange plugin itself=20
is not yet in cvs. Download it from the link above (at the moment
only the .tar.bz2 archive is needed, the diff file is empty).
Don't forget to update & install kdelibs.

Can somebody take a look at this so I can check it in, or should I do
that
anyway to make it easier for more people to take a look at?=20

For the longer term, I see three possibilities:
1. Keep it as a plugin.
2. Implement it as a Calendar, so that korganizer can work=20
directly on an Exchange calendar. I'm not sure if korganizer=20
and the Calendar framework are up to that, though. For instance,
does korganizer walk through the entire calendar sometimes? That
would be uncool on a calendar on an exchange server...
3. Implement it as a Konnector in the kitchensync/ksync framework.
I haven't following the discussion about this, would that be doable
now?

Last question: is it possible to put the exchange plugin on the feature
list for KDE 3.1/3.2/4.0?

Cheers

Jan-Pascal
