Bongo Project releases initial milestone: 0.1.0
BONGO MAKES INITIAL RELEASE =========================== Bongo is a project to create fun and simple mail & calendaring software. As well as providing a well-featured but extensible set of server software, it also comes with a user-friendly web interface. The Bongo Project is pleased to announce the release of Bongo 0.1, which represents the first milestone on our roadmap. This is a source-only release intended for hackers and users who want to get an early preview of what we're building. There's much more information about what 0.1 contains in the release notes: <http://www.bongo-project.org/Releases/0.1.0> For more information about the project, please see our website: <http://www.bongo-project.org/> -- the Bongo hackers.

Bongo Project releases initial milestone: 0.1.0 Posted Feb 22, 2007 6:26 UTC (Thu) by dberkholz (subscriber, #23346) [Link] It would've been nice if the LWN post noted that this was a fork of Hula. I had to go digging in the project FAQ to figure that out.

We've been pretty scrupulous in not mentioning Hula too much, because a company called Messaging Architects (MA) are now responsible for the project - Novell signed it over to them. The people in the Bongo community have very good relations with MA, and while we're still seeing how we can collaborate, we tried not to make too much noise about Hula because Hula isn't a Novell project now.
We are also basing Bongo on a branch of the Hula code that wasn't the code most people tried: if you haven't played with Hula recently, Bongo won't be that recognisable, and it's something you'd have to migrate from if you're a Hula trunk user.
