This is not about »making it perfect or not at all«, it’s about not
doing what will clearly look like a bad hack to people and be a
just-because-we-can solution.
Please google the phrase "Not Invented Here"
It's a *LOT* of work to write a good webmail client. Witness how few
good clients there are and of those which are half decent take a look at
the size of the commit list, code base, number of authors, development
period or any other half useful metric.
Please also google "baby and bathwater"
The web enables mashups of multiple applications in a way that isn't
possible in traditional applications. Lets keep an eye on that. Simple
deployment is a very desirable goal, but does not exclude merging code
bases, forking other projects, etc
Good luck
