We're still working out a few kinks that are probably related to our environment, such as the spellchecker and imp not communicating properly (ispell works fine, and is the latest version; not sure what's up here). Overall, we've had a lot of positive comments. The biggest complaints have been related to its speed. There have also been a significant number of requests for Eudora addressbook import options, which right now has no straightforward solution (they have to be imported to outlook, then imported from there to Imp). The speed issue isn't too surprising. We have it running on four Compaq tru64 boxes, which are also used for imap, pop, and shell logins for thousands of users. If you'd like to know more about our environment, let me know. I'd imagine you would like to be able to mention this on your website, which I admit would be pretty cool. Unfortunately, I'm not PR-authorized, and cannot give you permission to mention this on your website, but I am working closely with somebody who does have this authority, and while we haven't discussed it specifically, I think we're on the same level in that we are waiting until the major problems have been addressed. If he's not thinking the same thoughts, I will mention to him that he should let you guys make a plug for us on your site, once it's clear that we're sticking with Imp (which right now is pretty certain, but not 100% certain). > Also btw, I live/work in Somerville, so if you need some consulting as > part of this, let me know. :) That's good to know, thanks! -- Scott Kearney Web Developer Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard University
