Mailsomething
Mailsomething is a project hosted at sourceforge.
The focus of the project is to create a client side project tool. Which include features
like mail, tasks (lists), calendar - appointments, contacts, and similar project related tools. With a
group perspective. Currently the frontend is a swing-gui, but a html frontend, or using a whole other
toolkit like swt, could be possibilities.
How to implement this, client - server, or more distributed, is still not final. Probably several
implementations/possibilyties will be available. Currently, the work goes towards hooking the client
up on php-scripts on a server with mysql, ie, a server similar to a sourceforge projectserver. This server
implementation is choosen because its relatively simple, and because it will make the use of the
serverpart more widely available. And, it would be self-serving - give a tool for this project.
Later, one could imagine both an rmiimplementation, and perhabs a more peer 2 peer structure. The last
would though require a whole other design, ie, moving the projecthandling code from the server to the client.
But at that point, an existing working frontend implementing a project logic should make it easier to change the
underlying mechanismes.

CFactory contains gui related code that will be used
by Mailsometing.
Enable should keep any server specific code.
