about egroupware and dbmail

Hi,

I'd like to know more about the this partnership and what it
means for 
either of the projects.

Quotes are from the news item [1].

 > At LinuxWorld Expo Germany, eGroupWare and DBMail
unveiled plans
 > to jointly develop new email collaboration software.

I assume dbmail and egroupware will still be two separate
projects. Will 
there be an additional dbmail-ew version for egrouware?
Something else?

I understand currently egroupware supports dbmail as an IMAP
server, as 
any other IMAP server?

solution.
and

specific

requirements.

Does this mean calendar, infolog, contact book etc
information will be 
stored in the database alongside dbmail tables?  When is
this 
integration (shared database/tables) part scheduled to
happen, dbmail 2.4?


Any detailed information about about the integration
including the 
scheduled time line appreciated. I'm very interested in
egroupware 
lately and been using dbmail for quite a while.

Thanks,

        Alex
