There has been some discussion here recently about the lack of a good
CF-based webmail client.  I have been working on the basics of one
over the past several weeks using cfmail/cfpop (for POP accounts) and
imap.cfc, which I believe Rick Root has been refining from the version
found on SourceForge.

While I'm generally happy with the direction that my project is going,
I'm more of a CF guy than a design & front end guy and feel that this
client could use some Web 2.0 "POP" (sorry, pun intended) as well as
someone with some much heavier Java Mail experience than I have.

Would there be any interest in this?  I would be willing to present
what I have put together already as the foundation for this project.
It's neighter beautiful or mature, but it's a start.  I can set up a
SVN repository on my home server that would be accessible to anyone
working on the project, and then once it is at a reasonably mature
state, we can open it up under some open source license.

I would say that, for starters, we would need the following players (a
single individual can fill more than one role, if they have the
skills):

* CF developer(s) (of course)
* Developer with extensive Java Mail experience (for the IMAP piece)
* Front-end developer with cross-browser, cross-platform AJAX experience
* Flash/ActionScript developer (for a Flash forms version)
* UI/UX designer
* PM/"big picture" person

I can easily foresee some level of database development needed, but it
wouldn't be anything extensive.

If anyone has a sincere interest in participating in this project,
please email me at pruckelshaus at gmaildotcom and I'll act as
organizer until this thing achieves some level of critical mass.

Pete
