[dev] Fundraising: Multiple calendar, tasklist and address book support over ActiveSync

[Michael J Rubinsky]

Hi folks,

There has been some discussion on the mailing lists lately regarding  
support for synchronizing multiple calendars over ActiveSync.  
Currently this is accomplished by combining the events of all  
calendars into a single virtual calendar exposed to ActiveSync. Since  
multiple calendars are not supported by all ActiveSync clients, this  
provides compatibility with the widest range of devices while still  
exposing all events from all the user's calendars. This is not  
specific to calendars. The same method is used for contact and task  
lists.

The ActiveSync protocol, however, *does* allow for this feature, so it  
was requested by a number of people to have this added to Horde's  
ActiveSync implementation. Since adding this to the calendar, contact  
and task collections would not be an insignificant amount of work, I  
indicated that this would need to be funded/sponsored in order for  
this to occur any time soon.

Taking the recent success of IMP's crowdfunded Multiple Accounts  
feature into account, it was again suggested by others on the mailing  
list to go the crowdfunding route once again.

The fundraiser page is found at:

I have reduced the amount needed to "tilt" the fundraiser to below the  
total cost of the project since Horde LLC will contribute the  
remaining funds if the fundraiser is successful. So, please consider  
donating if this feature is important to you, or pass this along to  
someone who it may interest.

As always, thanks to everyone for supporting Horde development.
