In Segments Two- A Year in the Life of an Open Source

is featured in a new monthly
spotlight segment designed to pass along information about Open
Source project management for individuals and businesses
considering taking that step.
We will be joined by Luke Ehresman & Paul Joseph
Thompson
, some of the lead guys working on the
SquirrelMail Open Source project. In this new
monthly spotlight of Open Source development teams we will discus a
wide mix of topics associated with getting an Open Source project
underway, and managing its progress as you move down the road. We
will discuss the history behind the SquirrelMail project, evaluate
the progress, and prognosticate on what the future looks like
another year down the path

SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail
package written in PHP4. It includes built-in pure PHP support for
the IMAP and SMTP protocols, and all pages render in pure HTML 4.0
(with no Javascript) for maximum compatibility across browsers. It
has very few requirements and seems to be easy to configure and
install. SquirrelMail has a all the functionality you would want
from an email client, including strong MIME support, address books,
and folder manipulation.

In Segments Three – Source Forge The Open
Source project management resource. We will be joined by
Patrick McGovern Director, SourceForge.net Open
Source project development resource web site. We will do quick tour
of the feature set of SourceForge and discuss feedback from the
developer community. Luke and Paul from SquirrelMail will join this
segment and discuss how they used the SourceForge web site project
tools to help on their project.

Other opinions are welcome. If you would like to join
