Going to need to test it out when it gets release on more Linux distribution.

Well, it looks really interesting indeed, but...
The information about it does not appear to be written in any language that I speak. Is this something that a computer user would use, or is this being distributed for computer technology experts to develop into something that computer users will use when it is developed?
Is this something that I put on my home computer and it replaces the ISP that I am currently using? If so what will my email address be? Or do I put it on my hosting server, and if so what will my ISP think about me doing so?
I would ask these questions on their site but a) you have to register to use their forum and b) nobody that I could see on their forum was speaking in any language that I could understand either. So I thought I'd ask here, as myleow seemed to understand what it was all about.

Well, it's something that open source obsessed system administrator would use for the middle-sized company's email system.

For anyone who has missed the discussion on slashdot:

Zimbra looks very nice indeed, I've tested their demo-account: very powerful. A strong MS Exchange rival (and web-based which makes it all the more competitive).
There's also a good article on Webbased Apps (using AJAX):

Uhm - it's platform independent. Take Firefox for the front-end and apache as the server.

there are like 40 dependencies, not going to mess around and build from source! Waiting for their .deb or port version
