What? Another Email/PIM software? (02)
Short answer: No. (03)
Long(er) answer: spaces is qualitatively different. It shares many features
with standard email/PIM software like Evolution or Outlook. However, its
abstractions over information management are designed to simplify
organization and access to information and for collaboration from the
ground up. Along with the simplicity of its user interface, these elements
will not only make spaces a better PIM, they will also allow it to be an
ideal tool for collaboration between individuals and small groups. Spaces
runs on any platform that supports Java 2 (version 1.4 and above), which
includes Macintosh, Windows, Linux, Solaris, and other UNIX variants. (04)
Spaces is a tool that for the first time will integrate seamlessly all
information management tasks for individuals and small groups under a
single, easy-to-use interface. Using self-organizing P2P technologies,
there will be no need for servers. Having designed the interface for
collaboration from the ground up, there will be no need for five different
programs that always do things differently and need a subpoena to talk to
each other. The FAQ contains more information on what features are
available now and the schedule for additional features. (05)
Some or all of the components of spaces will be open-sourced (I still have
to figure out the extent and the license under which to release it), free
for individuals and non-commercial institutions, and its continued
development will (hopefully) be supported from individual donations and
licenses from commercial institutions and anyone else who believes in a
world where monopolies won't control our lives (and is willing to give
something to prove it" (06)
