I'm not _immensely_ fussed about releases if I can get an up-to-date  
version from SVN in the meantime. If a developer has to choose a  
priority between bug-fixing & releases I can sympathise with a choice  
to fix bugs or add features.

You obviously have hands-on experience with RoundCube, which I don't.  
How are addressbooks implemented at the moment? I would prefer to see  
then access an LDAP directory.
