A certain ISP (no prizes for guessing which one) has recently replaced its
mail platform, including replacing its webmail with "RoundCube".

For the uninitiated, RoundCube is a mail client written as an Ajax
application, which means it is *way* snappier than any sort of client that
needs round-tripping to fetch a page for every trivial action.

This is well and good if you're using IE7.1, but there are sharp bits inside
those silver clouds if you fly at them too fast with other browsers. It's
nearly there, but really needs a little more polish.

So the question is, has anyone delved into it, sufficiently to train another
developer, and/or to work on it and squash some bugs?

If you're familiar with the workings of RoundCube and would like to earn a
little dosh either as a trainer or a programmer, please get in touch.

And if you're not, feel free to promote the merits (or otherwise) of your
favouring webmail system!
