Yes, Scalix supports free/busy lookups. You invite them and the resource and you see their availability on a timelineGenTimJS wrote:Q; Does the schedule/calendar module allow for "Me, and these three people reserving this conferance room on this date at this time" type functionality, and check the availibility of the other 3 people and the conferance room at that time?
It behaves just like the local address book in Outlook.GenTimJS wrote:Q; Does scalix server (through the evolution/outlook connectors) support non-ldap address books? All my users -HATE- the interface for ldap addy books in every client they have seen (especially outlook!) For example, the way t-bird handles local address books or the way outlook handles ms-exchange hosted address books?
Yes, since Scalix 10.GenTimJS wrote:Q; Can I install all the packages needed to run scalix server on a machine which has no X-Windows GUI? (Basically, if I can install it over an ssh session to a remote system...)
As for Outlook: yes, if the users set reminders on their calendar items. This also works with SWA, don't know about evolution, though. But if evolution does support this functionality, then yes.GenTimJS wrote:Q; If I'm using outlook or evolution (with connector) are calendar events going to annoy me with popups and such the way they do with local calendar events on those clients? (users want this stuff)

Q; Tell me about the message storage .. how much of a PITA is it if I'm using a direct-file-copy disk to disk style backup, and userX deleted an important email and wants me to restore just that one email to thier inbox .. is this possible?
Q; Any plans for a (cross platform) thunderbird plugin simmilar to the evolution/outlook one? I'd like to give my linux and windows users the same desktop mail client and still take advantage of all the goodness beyond plain old imap4.

Yes, since Scalix 10.
Q; Any plans to support Gentoo Linux?
Q; Any plans to support Solaris10/Sparc?
At this point there are no plans to support Gentoo.
There are no plans to support Solaris on Sparc. On the danger sparking some serious SunFire here, looking at Sun's product strategy it seems that the Sparc CPU is phased out in the low to midrange server segment of their product line; based on our scaleability this is exactly the type of systems Scalix would require (A two CPU Opteron box supports up to 5000 concurrent Outlook users with relative ease). We believe that the Linux Intel/AMD platform provides the best price/performance ratio and therefore the best value for our customers, therefore it is what we currently focus on.
Sort of a "just trust me, ive got the deps and networking setup" option? This would allow for non-rpm based distros to use scalix with relativly little pain ...
Strange .. the T1000/T2000 seem very well suited for scalix .. as do the v100, v120, v210 and a few others. I suppose another valid question, tho I'm sure I know the answer, is "any plans to support linux on sparc" ?
Looking at your quote - with all the good features Scalix has, if you think it's right for you - would you not use it because it doesn't run on your favourite platform? :-)
