I'm not worried about Zimbra going down the pan (as a lot of yahoo purchases have apparently) cos I trust the guys at Zimbra to keep working on it, it's their baby after all. The thing that worries me is freedom of choice...
Right now people are free to develop zimlets and so forth based on any API/Tool they can find... GoogleMaps, Yahoo Maps, anything... I'm worried that at somepoint, to please Yahoo their going to have to say "Right, no more google tools, no google translate, no google maps, if Yahoo does it, it must be theirs" because that would be a shame. My guess is that the Zimbra guys probably can't/shouldn't give any assurances either way.
Otherwise good work so far, you guys deserve the payday... keep up the work on V5! |
