Good point. Perhaps an opportunity for Open Source, i.e. build ones own ... or maybe a startup could offer such boxen. From Freshmeat Replacement for GMail 87 hits on "webmail" e.g. http://freshmeat.net/projects/webmail/ (JAVA) http://freshmeat.net/projects/ppwm/ (Python) Not sure what to do about Writely, I suppose one could simply use OO locally and save/restore to the server as transparently as possible? Replacement for Google Spreadsheet http://www.simple-groupware.de/cms/Spreadsheet/Home (PHP, Javascript) Replacement for Google Calendar 114 hits on "web calendar" http://www.math.utexas.edu/webcalendar/ (Perl) http://www.ultraapps.com/app_overview.php?app_id=19 (PHP) Add some kind of ability to tag any file and search on the tags. If folks thought it worthwhile a group like the KPLUG has all of the technical skills needed to make such a thing. Nice if it could all be done in say, Python. I don't know that KPLUG, or LPSG, has the motivation and time though. Still it might make reasonable LPSG project. Build such a box over a period of a year or so ... Comments?
