Have been doing some thinking over the last week about how dbmail is progressing. It's pretty obvious that Roel / Eelco are quite busy at the moment, which means that patches aren't being applied as wished and it's hard to get good feedback from them on plans/etc.
Managing wishlists/bugs via the mailing list is also a bit difficult, which made me thing about setting up a web page to manage this (as was Roel's suggestion). However rather than reinventing the wheel: What about setting up a project at sourceforge.net? - feature/request lists - bug reports - patch repository - discussion forums - file downloads/cvs if wanted This would help consolidate important issues into one location, allow patches to be posted by one person (and then ported to the other database types by someone else), and then let Roel/Eelco integrate them into the CVS. Prior to this being done, the patches could be downloaded and applied one-by-one. Thoughts? I'm happy to set the project up, but I figured this is probably best for Roel/Eelco to do so they know all the passwords and the like. However if you're too busy, just shout out and I'll do it and pass you the details. /Mark PS. Roel/Eelco - I know you're busy, but I'm about to put 30,000 mailboxes onto this system because I think it's great! It would be really good - especially if the sf.net idea goes through - if you could at least post your thoughts from a project-owner perspective on the todo list ideas. I'm more than happy to spend time hacking code and coming up with ideas, but without knowing whether you guys are like the idea and are going to adopt it, it's really demoralizing just submitting code and having nothing happen. There seems to be a few people on the list who are really happy to do stuff for the project, and the system has so much potential. However there seem to be a number of requests (summary fields, duplicate username support, ...) which really need to be integrated into the core code concept. It would be much better if a fork never eventuated... Let us do the work, just keep us informed that we're working in the right direction and you're happy to integrate the code. :o)
