[dev] Phone call tracker for Horde client

[Mailingliste TBits.net GmbH]

As has been suggested by the guys over at kolab-devel, we shall also  
post this here.

As this company exalts the "Kolab groupware server" above all else,  
and such uses Horde as its web-based client, I have been roped into  
writing a phone call tracker application "for Kolab" (i.e. for Horde).  
Problem is, Kolab uses H3. Hence the application is targeted at H3.

The application is intended as sort of a logging mechanism for phone  
calls being made. For more information, see the enclosed README and  
OUTLINE files. Beware, however, that those were written for the  
kolab-devel folks. :P

True to the Kolab PHP distribution, it lacks a storage driver based on  
a real DBMS and true to the suit-wearing portions of our (or any)  
company, it has been 'd****d down' and generally modified quite a bit.  
Notably, its very concept has been somewhat diluted, partly because of  
the questionable (or at the very least incomprehensible) API of many a  
Horde component (especially the Kolab/IMAP integration engine).

It has been stated that the "Shout" application already does some  
thing or the other concerning phone calls, but I frankly haven't been  
able to test this as it seems to require H4 as well as SQL, both of  
which the Kolab installations we use lack. Naturally, Shout doesn't  
seem to have a project website, either. So, no mission statement, no  
documentation, nothing. As such, I don't know to what extend it  
overlaps with Gossip.

Bottom line: "Take it or leave it", i.e. you tell me -- is it worth merging?

Sincerely,
Simon Bausch,
currently with TBits.net GmbH
