	========================
	What is Kolab Groupware?
	========================

	Kolab Groupware is a secure, scalable, reliable, flexible, full-featured
	collaboration suite.

	Kolab is entirely Free and Open Source Software (a.k.a. FOSS), and
	uses Open Standards. We'll get to why this is important to us, and
	hope that it is important to you thereafter.

	The Kolab Groupware community has been around for well over a decade,
	and is a vibrant mixture of people from all breeds of life -- including
	technical, artistic, political, medical, legal, logistical, military and
	what-have-you.

	Kolab Groupware is the glue between the various pieces of software you
	would choose to Do-It-Yourself (DIY) your own mail server, and adds
	to that collaboration capabilities, mobile phone synchronization,
	native integration in to desktop operating system platforms such as Mac
	OS X, Linux and Windows -- in a ready-to-go, integrated offering with a
	uniquely uniform look and feel.

	This is built from the ground up with security, privacy and
	user control in mind, reusing the best of Free Software where
	already available. As such, Kolab Groupware is unique in that it
	is both secure and completely Free Software. Our community motto is
	therefore to "Do it right or not at all".

	:ref:`introduction-do-it-yourself-or-kolab`, dive right in to it with
	the :ref:`installation-guide`, or go back to the :ref:`introduction`.
