  1. Re:No Zimbra??? on Gates Explains Microsoft's Need for Yahoo · · Score: 1

    I'm not so sure that Zimbra would dig up Anti-Trust concerns. Their user base is small fry, and would be eclipsed by the concerns of losing Yahoo's main marketshare (advertising, search, user services et al). The reality is that Zimbra would be at risk of losing, and it's badgeware license would all but eliminate the ability of another competitor to pick up where Zimbra's corporate veil left off.

    There are, however, other alternatives out there like Citadel (http://www.citadel.org) which don't suffer from such licensing concerns, and have a lot going for them.

  2. Re:Zimbra Admins on How Microsoft-Yahoo Will Affect Open Source · · Score: 1

    I had looked at Zimbra a while back, but ended up settling down with Citadel instead (http://www.citadel.org).

    While Citadel has some really nice technical aspects going for it (fairly self-contained, easy to administer, stable, very fast, small memory footprint, SyncML compliant for over-the-air smartphone/device sync, easily understood and maintainable source), it also has a very active community that is not pulled in various directions commericially. Fundamentally, the most successful projects have been those which have an active community coupled with developers who listen to their user's needs. It's been going strong for many years, and its future looks very bright.
