I don't know what kind of tasks you are talking about getting help with, and I don't have much (or any) free time, but MAYBE I could help if there is something I could handle.
I am a developer (coding anything except Apple-related stuff), but I am not such a huge fan of Java, although it is very portable and cross platform, which is a good thing. I have yesterday gotten the `apache-james-3.0-beta4-app`, set it up on a dynamic IP domain, and let it run. Soon I will make it use TLS as well. I still need to make it use a DB instead of the filesystem, so hopefully I will manage to make it use SQL Server soon (hopefully it works - I have no idea if you have tested James with SQL Server, but anyway). So, since I am torturing myself with all these configurations, and reading the documentation on your site seems like riddle-solving, maybe I could do something related to that... I am not promising anything, since my schedule is crazy and my mind already about to explode, but maybe I can do something... Definitely, I could make a long list of questions for someone to answer which you can post as FAQ in your site... Irrelevant: I know that this is too early to have, but I think that having a management UI tool that updates the configs based on the user interaction and also manages the mail server would help a lot the users. Although, having used other Apache software in the past (Solr), it seems to me that helping newbie users out is not a high priority in your list. -----Original Message----- From: Matthieu Baechler [mailto:mbaech...@linagora.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2016 1:40 PM To: server-user@james.apache.org Subject: Re: James 3.0 release date Hi Mahesh, We found it really difficult to evaluate how much work is left to do for the release. We decided to split things a bit : we'll release a RC1 as soon as planned dev tasks are done and we will then focus on performance and stability testing starting then and we'll finish website tasks too. The tentative release date for RC1 is december the 12th. There's definitely tasks we could delegate and give some mentoring on, so if anybody's interesting to help, we'll be more than happy to share the work.
