I had noticed how well that Zimbra has been doing, and I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to make packages for Zimbra to be included in Fedora?
I spoke with someone from Zimbra at FudCon, They really dont want to work with any community. There needs to be alot of work done to be able to sanely package zimbra. I think ultimately it will take forking the last version released under MPL and moving forward from there. their current license is not acceptable for inclusion in fedora.
I think a better option would be open exchange it will work with all the pieces that are in fedora. rather than replacing apache, postfix, mysql etc they provide installation instructions http://wiki.open-xchange.com/wiki/index.php?title=Open_Xchange_Installation
We would need to create scripts to make tarballs from their cvs and package up things but I see 2 pluses, a big one being that everything is GPL, and the second being that they seem to want to work with their community. not dictate to them.
