is anyone working on this?
I have spent the last 3+ years creating and continuing development of
phpGroupWare, which is really one of the best web based groupware
solutions around.
However, its hard to create a direct competitor to MS Exchange server
from coupling linux+apache+php+mysql+sendmail+ldap together and tossing
phpGroupware on top of all of that. its a rather tough setup and it
still does not provide a client side/offline app.
We are working on ways to solve the client side issue, but none are very
far along.
dbmail is a very cool mail server, and can solve the issue of sendmail,
without the need for ldap and seperate socket connections by some php
code. Since we can hit the database directly instead.
Im not sure how things should all be put together, but I think that
having a SOAP interface to dbmail, and then starting to add other data
services such as a way to store ical records for calendaring...
Im mostly interested in finding out who else is interested in working on
this.
