I've been taking a look to the demo, it looks pretty nice because of a good selection of css, I'll deep into the code when I had a while.
You can see Hupa in action in either servers: http://hupa.alcala.org (it's a shared server I use, it could be down sometimes) http://james.zones.apache.org (it's a recent instance deployed in the James jail server). In order to use hupa you have to login with any gmail user (previously you have to enable imap in that user). - Manolo On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 3:44 PM, Ioan Eugen Stan <stan.ieu...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Dhurbo, Manolo, > > I think the developer doing the work should choose whatever platform > he is most comfortable with.
