Mitch Kapor's Outlook-Killer

Kent Brewster writes "In the San Jose Mercury this morning: 'For more than a year, [Mitch] Kapor and his small team have been working on what they're calling an open-source "Interpersonal Information Manager." The software is being designed to securely handle personal e-mail, calendars, contacts and other such data in new ways, and to make it simple to collaborate and share information with others without having to run powerful, expensive server computers.'" Kapor explains his intent in his own words.

    What the hell?

    Yeah, just make a joke about a problem with a Microsoft produt and get modded up. It may be hard for all you zealots to understand, but some of us actually like MS stuff.

    If this guy really wanted to change the world, why did he choose to 'revolutionize' outlook? Why not something a bit more interesting? This sounds as interesting as throwing away a NTSC TV for a PAL one.

    The linux source code is an unorganized mess of spaghetti code. You'll probably get something more structured out of /dev/random on the first try.
