Bonsai Update

Dean Lythgoe on Bonsai (from the NGW List):

We will support upgrading from GroupWise 6.5 to Bonsai.

We have not officially announced the version number for Bonsai. I will check with marketing and try and reply soon.

Bonsai will still use ConsoleOne. During the Bonsai time frame, we have developed a Java API for a future administration console. That console will most likely not be based on ConsoleOne or iManager. We are still designing the final delivery. It will probably be web based and SOAP enabled. We plan to put SOAP on top of the Java API.

Bonsai will still be eDirectory dependent. However, we plan to decouple this dependency in "Monterrey". If you have eDir, you will have more functionality, but we plan to support 'any' LDAP compliant directory.
