Update from Novell on next steps for GroupWise and Teaming+Conferencing:

“We are also working on a mobility solution, a 3rd Party integration solution (which may include the mobility solution), Exchange Gateway update, Exchange Migration Utility and GMS 3.0 and we are working on the next major releases of GroupWise – code named Windermere and Monterrey.

We are also working on Teaming + Conferencing deliverables – Boulder is the next major release of Teaming and we are discussing time lines and final feature sets. A lot of Boulder is already designed and coded, but we are evaluating if there are other things that need to be included.

Novell is also engaged in a few ‘Research and Development’ projects that deal with new ‘user interaction’ metaphors, new deployment metaphors and new collaboration markets. These projects have the potential of influencing and enabling some of our own evolutionary steps with GroupWise and Teaming + Conferencing and may provide opportunities for additional collaboration products, components or ideas.”

The comments are interesting … about what customers are looking for, eg, Mac OS X support, business application integration, and Tumbleweed integration.
