Looking at the server side, which is important when it comes to a groupware / pseudo-groupware aspect of this, there is SchoolBell, the calendar server component from SchoolTool, which has recently had its 1.0 release. We are successfully running Sunbird as clients with SchoolBell as server in our office for calendar sharing. http://www.schooltool.org/schoolbell

People are asking for integration, replacement, groupware and what role Lightning could play in this game.
 
IMO there are enough Groupwares out, there are PIM applications out, but all those end up killing the individual.
 
May be Lightning could simply be as what it already is, a replacement for any of these already existing PIM-Monsters. I need to organize my task and my calendar. If I would need integration/groupware I would not chose Lightning and stay with Kdepim or any other.
 
Lightning is also Lightweight and please do not change this.
 
As far as I can say it is actually the best Calendar application out there. When it becomes just another PIM-Monster it might not be the best anymore.
 
Using a plugin as SyncKolab is a great add-on to share my data between home, work and laptop. Easy, fast and not complicated, no study necessary, intuitive like it should be.
 
So thanks to all who work on this and please do net get lost. Doing what everybody does brings the same results everybody already got.
