Hello.

I am little frustrated. I would like to see the project going on. But nothing 
is happing here?

The web page http://james.apache.org/guidelines.html does not tell much about 
how to contribute.
But it has been last published: 2012-04-19, so maybe it is to old?

I tried to contribute. Not sure if this has been the right way.
I managed to set up James with eclipse and maven using SVN. Wrote a document 
about it. Hosted it somewhere else, it is not possible to push it to the James 
pages.
I opened cases in JIRA, offered patches.
Nothing happened.

After that I discovered that there is also a github project. Discovered just by 
accident.
https://github.com/apache/james
So what to use? Git, or Svn?

The release candidate is rather old, and it seems to me, nothing is really 
going to get released in next time.
There are still "new features" added to a "release candidate", but new features 
means to me: no release in next time.
The last commit on github trunk is by: Eric Charles authored on 2 Sep 2014

We are using James in our product, but the "stable" 2.3.2 version, and it was 
good. And we need it.
But we also need to go further. IMAP, ssl, more than one smtp listener, and so 
on.

So what should we use in future?
Postfix?


Greetings,
Bernd
