Personal Information Manager (PIM) on the roadmap for OpenOffice.org
"In 2006, a Personal Information Manager (PIM) has been added to the roadmap of OpenOffice.org. Users constantly asked for this feature, and it's still seen as a key missing piece towards a full OpenSource Office solution. The PIM targets to complete OpenOffice.org's productivity offering by providing an integrated E-Mail, calendaring and addressbook client. The roadmap presented at OOoCon 2007 lists it as one of the highlights of the upcoming OpenOffice.org 3.0 release."
I definitely get a lot of questions about this. Of course, Evolution or Thunderbird and Sunbird are current options.
Fantastic news for OOo! A PIM is a much-needed - nay, critical - step in mounting a legitimate MSOffice in the productivity suite market.
That said, I have become quite happy/comfortable with KDE-PIM, and will likely remain with it, even once OOo bundles a PIM.
