well, that's the issue (one of) I have with them - seems the packages do nasty things.

The packaging guidelines may seem a bit bureaucratic but make sense (mostly :-)) for long-term maintenance and distribution health.

And that's probably the reason no one wants to step up ... but I do not think that everything has to be done at once, let's just start steering towards that goal (if there are no objections ...), and maybe, after some months/years/some people joining/some leaving, we'll reach a state where the whole process will be simplified to something like "yum install kolab; systemctl enable kolab.service" for Fedora users ...

Hopefully ... so, where to start?

Something I can do without good knowledge about Kolab architecture and modules etc., learning things on the go?

Any _really_ recommended reading for me?
