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.

I'm not sure about the grandp

I'm not sure about the grandparent, but frankly, I'd seriously consider it. Nat, Miguel, and Novell, in general lend a lot of credibility to the project, in my opinion. I have nothing against projects run by volunteers, and use apps from several such projects, but I think that there's generally a much greater chance that projects with strong corporate backing will actually reach fruition than other projects that could just die when the devs lose interest.
