Z-push fork #1

Closed xbgmsharp closed 11 years ago

Hello,

Sorry to create an issue on your project, but i could not send you an email via github. I found your repository as z-push fork and many other. However i have more or less done the same work adding other opensource groupware using carddav/caldav server mine is https://github.com/xbgmsharp/sogosync

I think it is sad for all of us to work on the same idea but in our own. I would like to know if you would be interest in working together to reduce repeat work and improve the use experience. I don't from which project we start with but i really think we should concentrate our work.

So far the other project are (i am usre there is other) https://github.com/xbgmsharp/sogosync https://github.com/dekkers/s-push/ https://github.com/dpeddi/activesync https://github.com/gza/oczpush https://github.com/dupondje/PHP-Push

The main problem with PHP-Push is the code base made by https://www.forgetaboutit.net which is not using the same license.

What do you think?

Regards

hi,

I agree with you, there are many forks of z-push. But, oczpush is not really a simple fork. I don't modify z-push codebase, the goal is to integrate it ( with conf UI, etc..) into owncloud as an app using native OC API. In addition, I target z-push 2.0.

Our backends clearly speak the same language vcard and ical (I don't use DAV). We could share some code ( like a ActiveSyncObject <-> vcard/ical conversion library ) and some ideas. But communication protocol will be different (*DAV vs code api).

btw php-push is AGPL like original z-push.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I did not modify neither z-push. Using z-push-2.x or z-push-1.5.x does not make to much difference as from a backend view as the method are the same. So i believe we have different goal. My approach is more using pure standard so it work with any goupware and avoid what did zimbra or zafara as a specific backend. We can definitely share code and ideas.
