I complete faith in the project since its backed by Kolab who been working in the open source community for a long time. I've attached the last update that was sent out from August 27th in case you didn't get it.
Hello!
We wrapped up the Roundcube Next Crowdfunding campaign the othermonth
and our funds have arrived! We are now busy getting all the perks ready to go
... and that includes the Backstage Pass area.
The forums area is set up, but we're still populating with the initial
content. As soon as that is done, you will get another email with the address
and your login information.
In the Backstage area you'll gain access to developer updates and progress,
participate in polls to help direct our Roundcube Next effort, and an open
area to discuss with each other and the developers anything and everything to
do with Roundcube. As pre-releases emerge, this will become an especially
important area for all of us to gather feedback, help with initial deployment,
etc.
... and if the Backstage proves to be the vibrant community mixing spot we
hope it will be, then when Roundcube Next starts getting stable releases for
production use we'll open the forums up to the broader community and use them
in ongoing basis for this sort of community-developer interaction.
We are very excited to get this all moving forward with you, and we've been
busy at work on the Roundcube Next foundational / core design, and can't wait
to share our progress with you in the Backstage area!
I do apologize for the lengthy delay in getting this email out (it has been
sitting in my outbox for some weeks now ...) but the volunteer admins that
oversee the Roundcube servers (which includes the ones hosting the mailing
lists) had a number of interruptions and hurdles on the road to getting some
new infrastructure set up for this mailing list so we can reach out to you all
more easily ... but now that's finally done and we can start bringing you all
into the loop on a regular basis as to Roundcube Next progress.
p.s. If you also grabbed the Kolaborator perk, you will receive a Kolab Now
credit to use with the Kolab Now account of your choice with your Backstage
Pass login info.
