Multiple Front-End Solutions for Email and Calendaring?

Posted by Cliff on from the a-choice-of-interfaces dept.

USSJoin asks: "I am looking for a solution which I can install on my servers, that will allow me to run my email, calendars, to-do lists, and other groupware-ish functions. Specifically, I want a solution which allows equal access through the web and over an SSH session -- so that everything I do on one is accessible through the other. After extensive googling, I found Zimbra, which is nice and AJAX-ified, but doesn't include a to-do, and doesn't seem to have any way to deal with calendar access that is not made through the web front-end. I also found Citadel, but it seems like while it's a cute solution, it's quite cobbled-together and filled with hacks. This is especially true with its major Telnet interface, which seems dangerous to me. Has anyone on Slashdot had the same problem? What solutions have you found? Are Citadel or Zimbra really great and I just don't see their true possibilities? Are there other things I should be looking at, or different ways to approach this problem?"

  1. ALERT! Google Blog Censorship? by Philip+K+Dickhead · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Alert!

    "Progressive" and "Radical" Blogs on Blogger seem to be completely unavailable for over 10 hours.

    I am trying to get responses here, and come to a consensus. Are these being deleted?

    The following ".blogspot.com" sites are unavailable as of Saturday, Feb. 4, 4PM EST.

    http://gorillaintheroom.blogspot.com/
    http://xymphora.blogspot.com/
    http://spacetimecurves.blogspot.com/
    http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/
    http://jewssansfrontieres.blogspot.com/
    http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/

    And many more.

    A casual use of the search function on the Blogger/Blogspot front page returns the sites in question.

    Conservative political sites also seem to still be "killed".

    Plenty of sites promoting cheese in salads , or announcing the purchase of new home electronics , seem to be available.

    Are we experiencing a crackdown? Is this a "service outage" anomaly?

    Of course it was. Dems love terrorists and would never say anything bad about them.

    Since you say statistial, do you have any references to back that up? I am interested in how significant the effect is.
