Buni Meldware Communication Suite 1.0 Milestone 8 released
« JBoss Portal 2.6.1 worth a look | Main | Evolution + Meldware = Email + Calendaring + Freebusy »We're pleased to announce the release of Meldware Communication Suite 1.0-M8. Meldware is a multi-platform enterprise groupware package including: email (IMAP/POP/TLS/SSL), Calendaring (web/ical/wcap), graphical installation and administration. You can download it here including a webstart installation (click from your browser). This release includes numerous bug and feature changes among the highlights:
- a new look and feel for webmail
- Freebusy support in the calendar
- IMAP search support
- WCAP support for Lightning+WCAP 0.3.1 for Thunderbird allowing for both calendaring and scheduling
This release is really late and long festering mainly because we've been working hard on the M9 release and hadn't gotten off our duffs to make the M8 release happen :-). That was certainly a mistake on our part. With this release IMAP has really matured. Calendaring and Webmail (based on Adobe's Flex technology) are gaining fast. Progress on the graphical administration piece has been slow but deliberate.
There is a new End User Guide which administrators can point users to. The Installation Guide and an Administration Guide will be available soon. Please feel free to join us in the forums and/or on the Mail List. There is also an IRC channel on irc.freenode.net called #buni. Don't forget to come see us at the Next Generation Datacenter conference colocated with Linuxworld. I understand from various folks that "open source groupware" was completely missing from O'Reilly's OSCON last week. This is your chance to get to see stuff that is too hot for O'Reilly, especially Nat Torkington! A complete stack of multi-platform open source email and calendaring is a reality, MS Exchange is ball and chain, free yourself and your company. Let's work together to make things better and open source look good!

It would be great to have archives for the developer mailing list.
