The GroupDAV connector is long since been unmaintained.  It did work
reasonably well with Evo 2.8, but the Evo API seems to change with every
release.  I believe the last work on the GroupDAV connector was 2+ years
ago.  The SVN URL is
<http://developer.opengroupware.org/OGoProjects/evolution-groupdav/trunk>

But I wasn't aware that 2.24 could create a WebDAV (GroupDAV)
addressbook;  that is interesting.
