I haven't looked at it for a few months, but it *does* look like
a pretty nice project.  Personally, I've had it on my list of things
that "would be nice to check out as soon as I get some time" for
a few months now, but keep having other things get in the way.  It
didn't appear mature enough to replace our legacy systems with at
the time, but looked real close.

There's some apps at www.horde.org that have a similar spirit and
might provide a good start to a php project.  I've used IMP in a
large-scale environment, and it performs really well.  The other apps
there are starting to mature to the point of usability now (finally)
too... :)
