Besides, I think that the approach mentioned in the article (the part refering to AJAX) is way too professional and unnecessarily complex for a community driven development project (where developers from our community can participate.. a.k.a. an Open Source project). In order to make this project work, with "platforms" like AJAX, ''we'' will have to provide a base where third party people can build on + we will have to build a webserver that fits into our server, and I think that's a waste of our time. (Except of course when somebody else could develop this for us.)

Anyways.. I would rather stick to simple and plain admin HTTP functionality that is, for example, provided by a PHP script on a separate webserver that speaks to the MTA server by using a special TCP port. The only thing we would need for that is TCP sockets functionality. The whole administration thing would, of course, be open-source.

AJAX?

--IJs 09:36, 9 May 2006 (CDT) - Reference has been placed. I assume nobody actually knows what AJAX is.

Besides, I think that the approach mentioned in the article (the part refering to AJAX) is way too professional and unnecessarily complex for a community driven development project (where developers from our community can participate.. a.k.a. an Open Source project). In order to make this project work, with "platforms" like AJAX, we will have to provide a base where third party people can build on + we will have to build a webserver that fits into our server, and I think that's a waste of our time. (Except of course when somebody else could develop this for us.)
