Ladies and Gentlemen, In 2003 Charles Cazabon started a project called BikINI (BikINI is not IMAP). With his blessing, I am continuing that project.
Specifically I am going to complete the specification, finalize the reference implementation, request the use of a System port number (TCP only), and submit an RFC. The goal is to create a remote mail storage protocol which avoids server-side message parsing, and is as simple as possible to implement. I've created a wiki [1] to document the work on the both the specification and software. [1]: http://bikini.caterva.org I am posting this to all the mailing lists having members I believe would have interest in this project (either helping or trying out the server as it becomes viable). I will post nothing else on this list relating to BikINI except to announce a reference implementation release. If you are interested in helping with any part of this, please email me directly (dave dash bikini at weller dash fahy dot com) or sign up for the bik...@lists.caterva.org mailing list (see wiki for details). Regards, -- dave [ please don't CC me ]
