There has been some discussion about how to integrate JAMES with different backend 
systems, such as a relational database, LDAP, or what have you.  Other people have 
also expressed the desire to provide additional ways to manage userlists and other 
such parameters.  However, this usually breaks down into arguments over what's better, 
and meanwhile, nobody submits code (which would win the argument outright because it 
would be the only one working). :)

I think progress on JAMES has somewhat stalled as the Avalon structure is undergoing 
massive changes, and that has pulled some of the developers into that.  Hopefully this 
Fall we can get more momentum... really it just takes one person to volunteer extra 
time to add new features.  I'm planning to put out a new version of the mailet API 
soon that should separate the implementation from JAMES so mailets and matchers aren't 
affected by Avalon.  We've had a couple of people ask about enterprise management, but 
nothing has happened yet.
