[Web-cyradm] Try out an alternative.

[Marnix van Bochove]

Hi,

I think it's a good initiative to spent some time to develop some 
features the current web-cyradm lacks.
There is no development at this project anymore, but there are already 
some alternatives (sorry, don't know the names).

For me it's risky to switch to another webcyradm project, because I know 
the current webcyradm project and it's stability. Remember, this project 
is used to manage mail domains and mail accounts for my customers which 
is a very "responsible" task.
If you start from scratch, I should at least start with a good platform 
like .net or java and definitely not perl!
In  my opinion it's always better to join a existing project instead of 
starting a new project.
If you want to start a new project, you should start with:
- requirements
- a domain model, which lists all the entities and it's relations
- a software architecture
- etc.

The current webcyradm project is of course a good startingpoint to find 
the domain model and a list many requirements.

In The Netherlands we have a saying "best mates are on shore" (De beste 
stuurlui staan aan wal :-)), but if I can help you I will do.
