The Hula Project

Hula is a really exciting project already in part because we think that we can fill a hitherto-unclaimed spot in the stack of open source applications and in part because we've "primed the pump" by basing it on an existing, functioning codebase: a Novell product called NetMail. NetMail already runs millions of calendars and mailboxes. And so we're starting off with the mundane work of building a functioning server done, leaving us to focus on creating interesting new functionality.

Nope.

Sorry, but OGO does not fit this gap for me. OGO seems to be very hard to install, has strange dependcies, the LDAP sync seems to be done by dumping LDAP data and insert it in poostgres - not the way we like to have it.Please correct if im wrong tough.

What we want for us and our customers is a OSS server that gives us mail, shared calendars and contacts witch fat/web based support.
We do not need/want all those project stuff, store documents on the server etc.

HULA seems to be able to fix that for us. What i would hav liked is to have HULA configure OpenLDAP/eDIR for shared contacts.
Also to auth users to other sources (NIS/passwd etc) but this seems to be on the way.

This, and the fact that there is no Outlook connector is the only problems i see right now.(actually, the outlook probb is kind of irony, most of the other OSS servers support Outlook in some way, but no Linux fat client(OpenExchange, OGO,(kolab has kontact tough)) - suddenly it is the other way around, wich is equally worse...)

And no, Evo and Kontact support in OGO is very new, so we will not deploy that just yet.
