Hi all,
In the mail "Problems " there was a short discussion regarding the
development standstill of web-cyradm.
Currently im also using web-cyradm but missing features and the
continuing
development.
Since i'm also a php developer i've been thinking of making a new
version
my self.
If anyone is interested to jump in with idea's, coding or other sorts
please let me know.
Im reachable on [email protected]
Hi Richard et al,
Yes, the development stands still since a couple of years. There are
three main reasons for that:
- I was frustrated when I was calling for translations during the
0.5.4 release cycle and nobody responded.
- I have less and less time to keep on working on the project since
several years.
- I failed to establish a broader project government to make the
project independent from my person.
Forking is good, revive a existing project is may be better. If you
like, you can take over the domain and the project name if you like
and if you have a proper plan how to proceed further.
Web-cyradm lost of popularity is due to the use of all-in-one server
admin software, like ispCPOmega or commercial solutions like Plesk,
Cpanel or Ensim, but I prefer to use dedicated email servers. My
favorite manager is web-cyradm, but it is failing with new php versions.
If the project revives, I can help with Spanish translation and maybe
with some php coding, depending on my work load.
Some ideas to a new project could be:
- Use of a template system like Smarty (useful to customization).
- A more organized structure using php classes.
- Export users to Berkeley db format to avoid real time user validation
using MySQL (useful in high load servers).
- Domain accounts synchronization for alias domains (to avoid
backscattering).
- Admin access to individual users, i.e. to change passwords and
vacation messages.
- Suspend domains and accounts.
- Support for Exim and Dovecot.
Juan
