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.

Hula the first one?

"What we need (and almost have, already) is a communications hub - a normal mailserver, a simple webmail frontend, and the equivalent for calendars would cover 95% - we are really missing a standalone calendar component today, though"

Do you really think Hula is the first server containing this functionality? Come on - you can already use plenty of open source servers for these tasks!
