Everything provided by the mentioned project is Java based (well, one perl script and 5 or so C files for SSL). So yes. I think there needs to be a clarification of the confusing terms: a) SLOX/OpenExchange b) Open-Xchange a) is the product provided by SuSE and is basically an SLSS (SuSE Linux Standard Server) + b), the collaboration components. SLSS in turn is a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server + Cyrus/Postfix/OpenLDAP and some administration interface for that. b) is just the Java pages, no administration or backend components. So b) is not really interesting and certainly not the reason why people buy a). SLOX is mostly run as an email server where it provides reliable technology. On the other side the same can be said about an OGo Debian install ... > So isn't OpenXchange (E-mail) plus OpenGroupware.ORG (Collaboration) a > _powerful_ combination? Of course. This is basically SLSS + OGo. And the OGo project actually provides preconfigured packages build for and on SLSS. OGo 1.0 will have SLSS packages from the beginning on. > I'm surprised no one is interested in combining the two into a new > project now that the former is GPL as well. This is interesting which is why this is covered by OGo :-) Greets, Helge -- http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/helge/ OpenGroupware.org -- OpenGroupware.org Discussion [email protected] http://mail.opengroupware.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
