As far as I can see there is absolutely no relationship between the two. The press release just states that Netline will contribute to Hula - well, we'll see. I heavily doubt it since OX is a Java server and Hula is C. Notably Hula is a real Novell OpenSource product hosted on Novell forge, while OX is (IMO) pushed even further out into the cold by the Hula effort. But this doesn't need to concern us ;-) > NetMail is powerfull and small.

I think it will be interesting to see what we can reuse from the DHTML code in the web interface they want to build _in the future_. So far it doesn't contain any interesting stuff. > Novell is slowly and methodically rallying all the troups to build an > opensource alternative to the most used proprietory stack. IMHO this is an incorrect perception of the facts. _Mozilla and OSAF_ are pushing CalDAV and rally up the troops. The fame goes to them, especially OSAF. The reality distortion field is at work here ;-) > Expect this project to integrate seemlessly with Evolution and expect > evolution to be made available on windows in the not to distant > future. I suppose so. But only with Evolution until the other clients really support CalDAV. > How does this impact the OGo project. Significantly I would say and in > a positive manner. Agreed. Hula seems to have a very strong focus on providing a simplistic server for the masses so it doesn't really clash with OGo. Its also good because it intends to push standards like CalDAV which in turn directly helps OGo.
