[ngw] next release of GW

[Matt Weisberg]

I agree here.. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Novell should give up on the Mac/Linux client, it's just too late for that now (I gave up on them a while ago myself).  Just integrate better with the native applications would be fine by me (I'm perfectly happy in Apple Mail, just wish I had some way to integrate the calendar app).  

As much as I would really love to see a native Mac client, I pretty much was resigned to the fact that it would never happen a while ago.  The web direction is really the best bet at this juncture.  I would pour my limited resources into that if it were me.

If there is ONE thing I could get native on the Mac, it would be Novell Designer w/ full live function support... but I digress :)

Usually seems that Linux and Mac users already have their favorite apps for email, calendaring, contacts and would be happier if those could properly integrate with GroupWise rather to have to use/learn another client.
