I have to ask, why ?
As far as I can see, the openchange code hasn't been updated for about
9 years. the openchange.org webpage is a holding page. To me, this
means that the openchange project (something that never reached
production quality) is dead.

If someone wants to pick up the openchange project and revitalise it,
then great, but it will not be easy, Samba has vastly changed since
openchange was last updated and I feel that a lot of the openchange
code will need rewriting to bring it up to date.
