No, I don't care about the backup (I can handle that myself), clustering, rebranding or even built in spam controls (my server is already doing that). I don't even need multi-domain stuff, just the basics: contact/calendar server, connectors for contacts, web client, ability to subscribe to and publish calendars via iCal and similar apps, whatever else would be necessary to facilitate a few people collaborating together on various projects.
Zimbra seems to be really aiming for the stars in trying to replace Exchange in the workplace. That is a great and noble effort. However, it also seems like Zimbra is flexible enough to work out for much smaller and more modest environments too. I say, unless it counters Zimbra's design and makes life difficult for the developers, you guys should try to penetrate as many different markets as possible. Go for market penetration and volume in recouping your costs rather than just limiting yourself to Enterprise customers. There are plenty of markets out there just chomping at the bit for a solid Groupware product like this, all sorts of people can benefit from this.
Just my opinionated two cents, but since I've already offered my two cents I guess you have lots of extra change now
P.S. Zimbra is damn impressive. I'm really looking forward to being able to use it in FreeBSD! I'm trying to be patient
Although I might not be successful in conveying this, I'm very appreciative of your efforts and am cheering loudly for this project!
