Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2001-10-05
Severity: wishlist
WING is a web-based mail system written with mod_perl, originally by
Malcolm Beattie. It accesses IMAP and NNTP servers. The code is GPLed.
A blurb from the README is attached. I'm recommending "web-imap" as the
package name because there's already a "wing" package, and "web-imap"
is what they're using at Sourceforge.
The package recently moved to Sourceforge, it's at
<URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/web-imap/>. There's not
much there apart from the source itself. The previous home is at
<URL:http://users.ox.ac.uk/~mbeattie/wing/>, there's an older version
there.
If I can get to it I'll try to package it myself, but if somebody else
wants to have a try I encourage it. I haven't started on the job.
Blurb:
WING is an Open Source Apache/mod_perl based system which allows users
to access email held on an IMAP server via any web browser.
WING provides a gateway so that users can access email held on an
IMAP server via any web browser. See
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~mbeattie/wing/
Some features of WING are:
* The browser does not need to support Java, JavaScript or frames
but table and cookie support are preferable.
* Users can create a hierarchy of multiple mailboxes and browse and
move messages between them.
* Messages with MIME attachments can be displayed nicely.
* Per user defaults (such as screen size and mail signature) can be
set and saved between sessions.
* Files local to the client browser can be included in composed
messages or MIME attached to them.
* Arbitrary headers can be added to composed messages except that the
"From:" header cannot be changed or forged for outgoing messages
from WING.
* WING is scalable up to thousands and tens of thousands of users.
* Users can import address books by uploading them via their browser
(only Pine format address books supported in this version).
* Users can create their own links (bookmarks), presented in a
hierarchical list which can be folded/unfolded.
* Users can login using a "portal" view which provides a frame down
the left hand side of the browser containing site-configurable
links along with their personal links. This is the only part of
WING which requires frame support from the browser.
When integrated with a mail cluster similar to the one we have here
at Oxford University, WING also has these features:
* Users can manage their account via the WING interface. This includes
changing passwords, querying disk usage of mailboxes and disk quota
an setting mail forwarding and "vacation" messages.
* Users can create address books which can be browsed, searched and
shared in an ACL controlled manner with chosen lists of other
users and groups.
* WING server nodes can be added or removed transparently and can be
taken down for upgrades without affecting user service.
* There are a few web-based admin tools for querying the status of
the WING cluster and its users.

This RFP has been closed as it is very old and the requested program
isn't even under active maintenance since at least two years. If the
program is really important to you, please revive it upstream first.
Cheers,
Moritz
