Hi,

WRT SOPE/SOGo you're probably too late, to help them out.
They're planning to drop Objective-C backend completely, and rewrite in
Python.

No idea. They were not aiming to do the same as WO. They were strictly sing=

<br>

We have some areas that need improvement like:<br>
<br>
* the apache adapter should keep the connection open<br>
* we should do proper load balancing depending on the sessions / load<br>
* we need a WOMonitor App that allows you to start / stop instances.<br>
<br>
With modern AI tools those things should be pretty easy to add. The Apache =
adapter is currently very basic.<br>
