James server todo list
James Server - To Do web page.....
http://james.apache.org/server/todo.html
From the web page - "This is a living document that will give new and
existing volunteers some areas where we need help. As always, any help
is appreciated, be it documentation, code, suggestions, or feedback.
Last Updated July 2006."
Last Updated July 2006 ?????? Wow! Slow progress!
Almost hate to ask, knowing this is a volunteer project, but is there a
road map with estimated delivery dates published anywhere. I was unable
to find anything...
My main interest being when will the mail list manager and support for
mail lists be available in James 3.0? Closest thing I found to answering
this was at -
http://wiki.apache.org/james/MailingListManager
but was discouraged to read at the bottom of the page -
MailingListManager (last edited 2009-09-20 22:58:13 by localhost)
Doesn't appear the James website is maintained very well and kept up to
date.....

Eric - Thanks for the reply... Go to http://james.apache.org click on
Server which takes one to http://james.apache.org/server/index.html At
the bottom of that page there is a line which reads -
You can have also have a look on our to do
<http://james.apache.org/server/todo.html> list ......
The "to do" is a link which takes one to the
http://james.apache.org/server/todo.html page....

Trouble with volunteering is that one has to be knowledgeable about
James in order to be useful...

I started to poke at 3.0 a while back, looking to see what it might take
to add the mail list manager to it. But got overwhelmed by the steep
learning curve required to understand what is needed.. So gave up, but
maybe I will take another stab at it... Then I might be useful with
helping on some of the web pages... Lot will depend on how much spare
time I have though...

I will look forward to it, but without a mail list manager and support I
really cannot upgrade or use it. So have to stick with 2.3.2 for now..

Hello Marc,
To second what Eric said. The project is still very active. We
recognized that the web-site and the information there needs a lot of
TLC but unfortunately we did not find a good solution until recently.
I believe things will change for the better with the upcoming
migration to Apache CMS. This will enable more user friendly
site-updates with immediate feedback.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1374
I also talked to Eric about the mailing list feature that I think will
grow the number of James users. I don't have knowledge about the
implementation but I think it was/could be implemented as a Mailet.
This will make it very easy to customize.
Cheers,

Hi Marc,
The website: I don't think the todo.html is still referenced via a menu
or a link, maybe you felt upon it via serch engine. Can you tell us more?
The wiki: Many pages should be removed or migrated to the website.
Volunteers welcome :)
The mailing list feature: it has been removed for 3.0 but can be readded
whenever someone would have time to do it.
We are heading to 3.0b4 within 2 weeks.
Thx to push us :)
Eric
