Roxx! ;-)

In theory you can use a fully compliant GroupDAV client against a  
generic WebDAV server (like Apache WebDAV).

In practice this has two issues:
a) most clients historically have some OGo specific hacks (starting  
with hard-
    coded URLs), at least the EDS one has. I'm currently trying to  
fix that
    for EDS.
b) the vCard implementations are highly incompatible between clients
    (Kontact, Evo, Apple) so unless you use just one client, you'll  
run into
    issues here. A "real" server helps a lot as a "negotiator".

ZideStore support for GroupDAV has improved a lot in the last two  
weeks (thanks to Noodle). Creation and editing of basic contact data  
works now and will be completed next week (email/phone/address are  
not supported yet, but will be soon).

Thanks!
