Hi,
I work for an free software company, Linagora, and with my team, we
are working to have James fit our needs.
Two of our interns already submitted some code regarding Cassandra
support and some bugfixes on James itself (Philippe Benoit and Benoit
Tellier).
We are making our team bigger and have multiple goals that I'd like to
share with you:
1. have James 3.0 released !
2. writing backends to run James on Cassandra/ElasticSearch/Kafka
3. write some mailet or other extensions to match our products
functional needs
Great!
Could you list the opened jira with contributions? I will review and commit.
So we are currently working to contribute all the code we wrote for
goal 2.
In this regard, I'd like to know several things :
- I see in james-parent 1.8.3-SNAPSHOT that James targets java 6. What
about pushing it to java 7 now that Java 6 is end-of-life ?
It would be better to release 3.0.0 on java 6 and migrate to java 7 for
the next release.
- is it acceptable to contribute backends that require java 8 (with
some magic to disable build if java < 8). We would really like writing
modern Java for our modules !
Sure, but it would be released for 3.0.0+
jdk7 or jdk8 will be subject to discussion.
- Could James projet make use of apache integration
(https://blogs.apache.org/infra/entry/improved_integration_between_apache_and)
with github to accept contributions ? I know some others apache
projects amend their contribution guidelines to make it possible (
https://mahout.apache.org/developers/github.html ). We could just
import their practices into James, don't you think ?

Feel free to make me to redirect my questions to the right place if
it's not.
Regards,
