KDE PIM Annual Meeting Pushes Advanced Design, Enterprise Stability

| KDE PIM is the Linux client for the Kolab groupware solution, and

| KDE 3.3 codebase. A new enterprise branch of the KDE 3.5 PIM
| module is being created which will be used as an ultra-stable
| base for Kolab users, and so that Kolab-derived improvements
| can return to the KDE 3.5 branch.
