I think you will find Tim Pearson and Trinity quite open to the Debian
community. In fact, we just offered a bounty to them for fixing
Kontact/Zimbra integration in 3.5.x for Lenny. If anyone else is
interested in contributing to this bounty, please let me know as Kontact
is one of the parts of 3.5.x which is badly broken and only fixed in
4.x. We've also put together a script to tie Kontact (well,
KAddressbook) to Asterisk so one can dial from within Kontact securely
via Zimbra. I'm sure that could easily be extended to other backends
and we'd be more than happy to share that with the community. Thanks -
John
