I spoke with someone from Zimbra at FudCon, They really dont want to work
with any community. There needs to be alot of work done to be able to sanely
package zimbra. I think ultimately it will take forking the last version
released under MPL and moving forward from there. their current license is
not acceptable for inclusion in fedora.
I think a better option would be open exchange it will work with all the
pieces that are in fedora. rather than replacing apache, postfix, mysql etc
they provide installation instructions

We would need to create scripts to make tarballs from their cvs and package up
things but I see 2 pluses, a big one being that everything is GPL, and the
second being that they seem to want to work with their community. not
dictate to them.
