Our best hope is that Yahoo will stay well and truly in the background and simply provide the resources for Zimbra to accelerate the pace of their innovation. If that happens this can be a win for everyone.
Hi NRC-
As I said, I can't speak to the future.

However, the management team & myself (community guy) are all staying on to keep the focus of Zimbra on track.

We've got the best team, and now we're just joining forces with Yahoo's best teams.

The more resources we have, the better we can be discover bugs and fix them. It also allows us to develop cool-ass zimlets using Yahoo's resources.

Best,
john
