From someone that just started looking at Sogo.
It seems you have solved the major road block with mail servers and that
is native integration of Outlook.
I am wondering why the product doesn't get more open source exposure.
There are only 1039 users on the mail list and looks like ~30 emails per
month. I would expect a lot more activity.
Have a great day!

You're very intuitive and insightful.
I'm always open to "constuctive criticism". However, saying it's fine
the way it is in certain instances is ludicrous. Just like the code
will mature and refine over time, the documentation must do the same.
Without that understanding and impetus, the product will fail. It's
just a matter of time. I've watched the downfall of giants in this
industry, including DEC, due to their inability to understand simple,
constructive critiques meant to improve their products and market.
They failed to embrace "UNIX", an operating system based on computing
theory and automata. VMS is near-dead except for some hold outs.
However, their fall was dramatic.... they went from owning the "mini"
computer segment to death in just 3 years.
Personally, until there is effort on the part of the project
programmers, support and architects to improve their penetration (aka
better documentation), it will fail over time.
Simple things like polling a strong, helpful community of believers,
like myself, could change this. Sending e-mails and correlating the
information and presenting it to people so they know, up front,
implementing SOGo is the 'right way to go', will change the tide.
People need to stop sitting and critiquing and take action. Probably
the first stage is to brainstorm on "how do we improve the existing
documentation" and putting together a project plan for that. After
that, it's "how do we improve our documentation as a whole so people
embrace our product" and a project plan for that.
I believe I've given the foundation for the former. Ask the
community. Poll what works for OS, DB, browsers, LDAP versions, etc,
etc. I believe I've been "helpful" and I'm not just 'naysaying'
Peace to all!

That is the best answer that the list gotten since the discussion started.
it's bad to drop the ball.

Let's face it, I have enough work in my own life. I've offered
some very simple things that could be done, and it seems that
people want me to do the documentation or just be quiet.
That's fine.
Because two folks told you they like the doc how it is while you
said yourself two times it was horrid and you're ready to drop the
ball? I appreciate the comments you provided, but if you voice
your opinion, be ready to accept what others tell you.
