Re: Is this project still active at all?

Hi,
there's a lot of development going on in the roundcubemail gitbhub repo.
So, the main focus shifted in favor of a reliable, well programmed 
collaboration UI.
Aleksander ist still very much involved, but i don't know if he's still 
working for kolabsystems.
Anyhow, the webclient is superb, i don't have any troubles with 
ActiveSync and my patched DAV server is doing fine.
A year ago, i submitted a hotfix.

We've an ongoing pandemic, so the situation is not optimal for releasing 
a lot of code when worrying about your own future !
During my 10+ years as a user, a spent a lot of time answering questions 
in the forum, that's also what it is about.
As with all OS projects, w/o donating something (support/money) the 
wheels won't turn.

Perhaps Aleksander has some insght about kolab's future.

Rgds.
Franz
