I assume that the connector will be a plugin that uses bonobo to do it's
stuff.  Therefore everything in evo will still be the same.

What I would like to see is a evolution server that's GPL'ed and then a
plugin to it for outlook-capability.  That plugin can be proprietary for
all I care.

In my company most people are running either outlook or evolution but
there is no way we will install a windows-server just for serving
calendars and the like.
