Back in the Old Old StarOffice 5.2 days, the office suite used to have a
File Manager, Calendar and Email client. OO API still has the mail bits on
the API for SMTP, Email handling libraries.

It would be interesting if there is a push to bring the PIM back and
rebuild the bits.

Base was developed using a more HTML-driven operation with more
concentration on the using the workspace as a dashboard.

In theory this way, it could be more mantainable to display and built
interfaces like the one of Calendars and Email.

We have talk with the people from KDE - Kolab which lately unveiled a
'Cloud service' which means we could develop a desktop client and they
could provide a service for remote support like Calendaring Free/Busy and
email hosting.

There still many things needed like handling a certification store
(currently AOO uses Mozilla's for their Digital signature). And update and
create some of the calendar bits specially managing things like Ical, vcal,
and other fileformats.
