Hi all,

Here's an status update on the exchange 2000 plugin:
- Read appointments from an Exchange 2000 server. 
- 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. 
The uid isn't checked, so even if the event is downloaded from the 
server in the first place, a new one is created when uploading!

I'm putting nightly diffs of the plugin on 
http://tux.ict.tbm.tudelft.nl/~janpascal/exchange/
The kdelibs developments needed for the exchange 2000 plugin 
have just been committed, so only the exchange plugin itself 
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? 

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 
directly on an Exchange calendar. I'm not sure if korganizer 
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
