I think I remember someone saying something like
"Put a fork in it iFolder is done"
Here is hoping that is not the case (still!)
Cheers!

Hi,
www.ifolder.com says:
- Mar 28th: ifolder 3.6 available
- May 2nd: ifolder *server* 3.6 available
There is no stable release of ifolder. There hasn't been one since
some version of 3.4 way back when. There was supposed to be a stable
3.5 release last year around march but that never happened. Some time
ago there was a "developer stable" release of 3.5. The word "stable"
should not have been used in that release. I am running it and it's
far from stable.
If you want 3.6 your best bet is probably the source code but that
doesn't build on all systems. Please be aware that people have
reported problems with the 3.6 windows client too. At this point all
you have is some alpha quality code both in the server and the client.
If you want to play with it then go the subversion and try to build
it. If you are running a novell linux then you can try the RPMs.
If you are not running novell then you have to install all the
dependencies. There was a thread about it here while I was trying to
build it on centos (to save you the time don't bother, it didn't
build).
There is no release target date for 3.6. Nobody has been willing to
commit to one either. It will be done if and when it gets done.
There is very little activity on the mailing list. There is very
little communication between the developers and the users. There is
virtually no communication at all between novell and the ifolder
users. If you run into problems you may not be able to get any help
at all.
At this time this is a project for the curious or the exceptionally
brave. If you are neither one of these then I suggest you don't go
down this path. Definitely not for production use.

Tim,
My thoughts exactly. I've been waiting for a stable iFolder for months.
No
wait, years.
Who knows whats actually going on with Novell and iFolder. The product
had
such amazing potential - I've yet to find something that could be used as
a
replacement. If any one has any suggestions I'd be really interested.
I was assuming that OES2 was going to bring ifolder back to life. Given
that is sold to customers, and given Novell talk about ifolder in the
marketing of that product I was expecting it to have had some time put
into
it via those development teams.
Anyone from Novell shed any light on when we will ever see a product that
can be used in production as an actual strategic piece of technology?
Thanks,
Steve.
