I'm uncomfortable with the 4.0 release switch. It gives the impression that "much" needs to change whilewhat we need is to re-brand, and better document what exists. > My assumption is that there currently is not roadmap to 4.0.

Linagora (company for which I am working) already proposes these services. We already carried out several support / development contracts for Apache James. > I think it would help complete the offering, and hopefully provide a > commercial opportunity as well in a way that is beneficial to all, including > the James community.

I'm not sure an Apache project is entitled to broadcast details of comercial offers. I believe "listing" service provider is enough. It should be up to the service providers to detail their offer on their own website (referenced via an hyper-link) > (Just a thought, but maybe the “Distributed James” could be a commercial > offering, rather than a community offering??) I strongly believe the "distributed server" is a differentiator for Apache James and helps satisfy some of the community needs. > To resolve this thread, I will be satisfied once we have a clear statement of > objectives regarding the 4.0 release.
