The CommGate range of products are actively under development using (whenever possible) open-source software. For end users and non-developers, the product roadmap outlined below will give you a sense of where CommGate is headed.  Keep in mind, the roadmap is not carve on stone.

Expected in version 4.x

• Groupware collaboration suite
• OpenLDAP user database
• User groups for Samba, access control, content-filter, FTP, LTSP, etc.
  

Task List

The following is a list of specific features marked with a high priority. Most of these tasks should be complete within the next 12 months.  When looking through the tables below, keep in mind that the "map is not scale".  In other words, some of the tasks have a small scope (for example, adding a boot splash), while other tasks have a large scope (for example, the unified user database).
