[CS-FSLUG] Free groupware at last

[Jonathan E. Brickman]

Yes, I seem to have spoken too soon or something; my Akonadi server is 
not "registered with dbus" (whatever that means), and has stopped 
working well, although the Sabayon folks are working on it as I type.  
Will keep on trying, it has in fact stored my calendar, address book, 
and email on a standard IMAP server.
