Thanks Nikos! I'm probably going to check out Melissi since I really don't like the idea of using a public IRC server, even if it's just for notifications. Without looking, I'm assuming Melissi never moves my data to the cloud? It all always stays on my home server? > You can also check out Owncloud, but this is based on Webdav so your files > are only in the cloud. You can't access them when you are offline.

I want it to live there and stay there. But also the whole 'accessible only in the cloud' thing is too annoying to deal with. > > PS.

I'm always looking to refine it though: - Ubuntu Linux - Postfix mail - Roundcube Webmail - Homebrew document creation (HTML converted by script to ODF) I'm looking at Zimbra right now as it looks like the open source edition might just provide replacements for a few of these but we'll see. Any thoughts on how this might be improved? Anthony
