Source: imip-agent Section: utils Priority: optional Maintainer: Jonas Smedegaard Build-Depends: debhelper, dh-exec, python, python-babel, python-psycopg2, python-tz Standards-Version: 4.3.0 Homepage: http://groupware.boddie.org.uk/imip-agent Vcs-Browser: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/imip-agent Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/imip-agent.git Rules-Requires-Root: no Package: imip-agent Architecture: all Depends: ${misc:Depends}, python, python-imiptools Recommends: imip-manager Description: agent programs to handle calendar information in e-mail imip-agent is an extension for existing MTAs (mail transport agents) providing extra support for calendaring and scheduling. . * It uses the iCalendar, iTIP and iMIP Internet standards. * It can inspect messages containing calendar objects and extract availability information for sharing and publication. You and your users decide exactly which kind of messages it will inspect, whose messages it will inspect, and for whom no inspection or sharing will occur at all. * It can provide a Web-based interface to calendar information for users who cannot or choose not to use mail software with calendaring support. This is optional and your users can choose to adjust, ignore or disable this functionality. * It supports autonomous entities such as meeting rooms and resources, automatically accepting or declining invitations according to their schedules. You can adjust this behaviour to implement your own policies. . Unlike some monolithic groupware solutions... * It does not require you to change your MDA (mail delivery agent) or your mail storage software, * It does not require your users to change their MUAs (mail user agents). * It does not insist that everybody must store their schedules on a single server in order to collaboratively schedule events. * Instead, imip-agent takes advantage of the decentralized nature of the iCalendar and iMIP Internet standards. * It allows people in your organisation to collaborate with people outside your organisation without insisting that they join your infrastructure or that everybody join some cloud service that keeps everyone's information within a single, typically proprietary, remote service (that may also be potentially vulnerable to intrusion and surveillance). . The role of imip-agent is to bridge the gap between plain e-mail and "full-stack" groupware solutions, thus allowing organisations and individuals to augment their existing infrastructure instead of being compelled to perform costly and unnecessary migrations and infrastructure transformations.
