Greets; Over the weekend had the chance to play with Novell's netmail product that is released under LGPL now. What surprised me is that while hula's front end is rather weak and uninteresting, the backend server (netmail) is full featured and ships with a complete web admin interface, which is rather nice, complete, and interesting. So the following thoughts came to mind. Postives; - netmail could be packaged & bundled with OGo to provide a complete 'groupware' solution replacing the need to install cyrus for those not interested or capable. - netmail provides a complete admin interface to the server; - if this were to complimented with a to be created OGo admin interface the admin components of 'product' would be completed and very nicely packaged -currently suse, fedora and debian packaged binaries are available for testing. - Manuals are extensive for netmail (509 page PDF) Negatives; - maintenance and upkeep of netmail as a product?(end of life product by Novell?) - OGo compatibility with netmail's feature set? The later can be tested but the former may be a concern. Just an idea. Comments? /ch -- OpenGroupware.org Discussion [email protected] http://mail.opengroupware.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
