Since Leopard release is known to be planned in October 2007, I ask you about the Darwin Calender Server status. - Is it (near to) production ready ? - Is the code usable in a production environment ? Not being well packaged won't be a big problem. - Are there missing features ?

It's pretty near to complete. As to what's not complete or being worked on, see trac.calendarserver.org.

Apple announced [1] Outlook ability to connect an iCalserver via an opensource connector. Is the connector developed at Apple or is it a third party project ? Which one ?

I'm pretty sure Apple announced no such thing, but there is this project, which is potentially one way to get there: http://openconnector.org/

I do believe Guillaume is referring to this: Works well with others. iCal Server uses open calendaring protocols for integrating with leading calendar programs, including iCal 3 in Leopard, Mozilla's Sunbird, OSAF's Chandler, and Microsoft Outlook using an open source connector. These open standard protocols include CalDAV - a set of extensions to WebDAV - and interchange formats such as iCalendar, iMIP, and iTIP. http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/leopard/icalserver.html That could almost be considered an announcement.
