This page tries to catch all ideas and serve as a centralised overview of user submitted new or enhanced SME Server features suggestions.

Please note down your thoughts in a simple 1 liner. Further in depth discussions can be done on the devinfo mailinglist and the discussion mailing list.

This 'wishlist' is what it is, a list of wishes. Nothing more, nothing less. Which ones are 'in' or 'out' should be decided by the community on the mailing lists. Please join in.

Please append your name at end of your post. Thanks.

Must have

  • a governance of one or more persons as the debian way.....we need a leader (Stephdl)
  • publication of expenses and revenues to determine the needs and provide confidence how the money is spent .... with this I can know if I should give more (Stephdl).
  • That

Nice to have

  • Webmail
    • Decide if webmail is Core or Contrib
    • Investigate the webmail solutions available, and features such as activesync
    • Decide which webmail should be in core, if any
  • Samba 4 (David Harper)
    • Decide whether Samba 4 is going to be production ready for the SME 9 dev cycle
    • Investigate the implications for the SME ecosystem of moving to Samba 4 (e.g. currently UNIX accounts are used for authentication but for Samba 4 all auth would have to be done through Active Directory - e.g. IMAP, webmail, VPN etc.)
    • Would likely require BIND 9 instead of dnsmasq
  • NFS server (David Harper)
    • Investigate ways of promulgating network-wide UNIX UID & GID - LDAP or AD based
    • Would allow for "roaming profile" like setups for clients like Ubuntu and CentOS Desktop
