[Dovecot] [Fwd: Re: University of Washington lays off 66 technology workers.]

[Stewart Dean]

I would expect this means the end of UWIMAP....which probably leaves DC as 
open-source IMAP of choice.  There were 66 people doing IMAP and Pine/Alpine 
development that were laid off at UWash due to funding cuts; Mark Crispin, one 
of the fathers of IMAP, was among those laid off.

Here's the official text on the status of Alpine and UW imapd development for 
those that were asking:

---
Here is what we know about our future plans for development of Alpine and UW 
IMAPd products.  We are committed to completing our work on a new Web Alpine 
user interface and a corresponding release of Alpine and UW IMAPd.  After this 
next release, which is anticipated later this summer, we'll continue assessing 
any future development plans and resources we can allocate to this effort.  Thanks.
