What I'd really like it if you got involved in current initiatives before starting your own so that you first actually become familar with what is here and get used to working with the people HERE now. Otherwise you just become kind of a growth and don't get incorporated into the people side of the projects. I've done this a few times. If you start on the outside in we'll loose you in the end.
Now to the issue at hand. There is no need for a private intiative. Its not like I'm STOPPING you. You only need agreement from me if you want it synched into the project plan or release schedule. I'd love it if you wrote a maillistener. However, it will won't hold up a release the way a core initiative like hibernate mailboxes, security, etc will. If you prove to me through code not dialect that it is a good approach then I've been known to change my mind (though you aren't addressing a very important audience for JBMS but I don't mind because no one HAS to use your mail listener). One day when we have more people who have been here longer I'll turn this into a more democratic system (voting and all), but its not time yet. However there is a MASSIVE poltio-technical issue that you'll have to fight out on the JAMES mail list. I'm not going to tie us to JAMES's release plan (I'd have to be an idiot to do so). The Mailet API is part of James and is a bit too tightly coupled in places. Ideally you'd need the mailet api to be a seperate project with its own release schedule if you want to have any more than brittle support for it. I don't have time anymore for the long protracted political arguments to make this happen. If you have patience for that kind of thing, go for it. (You'll need a POC first to prove to them you're serious) In truth, I think you're going to learn that open source projects that inhabit the same space are just as competitive as prprietary software products that inhabit the same space. Again, I'd rather you start on something that is critical to the project right now, and come back to your own private initiatives. Help us get out M3 first, learn more about JBMS. You didn't even know about mail listeners before you posted your first "revolutionary" email. That's what I want to fix first. I can lead you to tasks as can Dawie and Mike.
