Joyent just GPLv2′d Connector – their collaboration suite including; mail, calendar, lists, bookmarks, files, and tagging. I’ve been watching the Connector grow for a year or two now. While it never clicked with me [1], it always felt 1 feature short of being a Highrise – if not Basecamp – killer.

That missing feature was being open source. With that checked off, I expect adoption to pick up and for Connector development to pick up rapidly.

I’ve always thought Connector would make a great extended family address book. It’s just about time to find out.

[1] I still want to use my trusted iCal, Mail, Address Book, Finder combo – with Connector synching things up in the background. I prefer to use Connector – and all browser-based productivity apps as a point of reference, not a point of origin.
