Hula Hoopla

So I’ve been hoping to replace my current Squirrelmail webmail solution with something more gMail-esque and I heard about this new project called Hula. It’s an Opensource spinoff of Novell’s NetMail system and in addition to doing mail it also does Calendars and can replace your MTA (like Sendmail or Postfix) and IMAP/POP3 servers.

Right now I’m hosting a site that makes tarballs out of every new SVN commit called HulaTar and in the future I will be writing a Hula-friendly PocketPC Activesync Provider for Calendar, Contacts and maybe Email if there is enough interest. I also hope to develop a new db-based storage backend for Hula (mbox and MailDir are just a wee bit outdated) .

Check the project out and pitch in if you can! We ‘hoopers’ tend to meet in #hula on the FreeNode IRC Network
