Speaking of 30gigs.com, I've been asked to help make it scale - hence it's moving into a hub-and-spoke model (partitions for scalability).
I've asked the owners if they are giving back to the roundcube developers, they said that they were, but from the comments here - that might not be true.
Maybe I missed something but the only messages I've got from 30gigs are the following posts: http://lists.dorkzilla.org/archive/roundcube-dev/2005Oct/0396.html http://lists.dorkzilla.org/archive/roundcube-dev/2005Oct/0398.html
Personally, here are my plans
- Move backend system into a hub and spoke model for scalability (Mail
Delivery, and IMAP) - I'll be more than happy to discuss how this is implemented for people wanting to run such a large scale site..
Sounds interesting. Unfortunately I'm not a "professional" developer and RoundCube might have some essential lacks in it's architecture to work in a large scale environment. Any suggestions on this are appreciated.
- Modify parts of round cube and make it LDAP aware to support above.
I'll be more than happy to give it back to the roundcube developers.
I guess you mean an LDAP based authorization system? There was already someone working on an LDAP implementation for the address book but this has not been brought to an end yet.
- Will take a look at the php backend used by roundcube, and will see and
decide if I want to rewrite it in Java and use a distributed-cache / replicated cache (eq. Tangosol Coherence, or for something free and cheap
- the Jboss TreeCache), coupled with a cache-loader, and write back cache
support - will allow it to scale better horizontally. The app IMHO just from looking at itis too DB centric, it's hard to scale a vertical resource.
As mentioned above: any suggestions about database/storage/structure are welcome...
