+=head1 CiderWebmail
+
+We're ending this year's calendar with something most of us dislike,
+but occationally need or at least get in contact with.
+
+Webmail sucks. We are Perl programmers. We like our mutt or maybe our
+kmail but at times, webmail is the only thing available. And the only
+webmailers available are written in PHP and they all have their
+difficulties and problems.
+
+In the Perl republic on the other hand we have great components: we
+have Catalyst, we have Mail::IMAPClient, we have MIME::Tools and many
+more. The only thing missing was an application that pulled these
+together into a usable application: CiderWebmail
+
+=head2 What we want
+
+If you live email, your mailbox probably contains thousands or tens of
+thousands of messages. Since we're used to the features of modern
+email clients, these thousands are probably contained in only a few
+folders.
+
+Our goal is to handle these mailboxes efficiently like a local
+client. We want our webmailer to be snappy with folders containing
+10_000 messages so you can quickly find the message that you need. We
+really care about the user experience. That means, not needing to
+guess which one of the 388 pages of messages is the important one,
+near instant response time, configurable and themeable keybindings,
+and an intuitive (possibly beautiful) user interface.
+
+=head2 How is it done?
+
+CiderWebmail is a Catalyst application using L<Mail::IMAPClient> as
+backend, L<MIME::Tools> to parse messages, L<Petal> as template engine
+and JavaScript and AJAX in the front end to make drag &amp; drop and
+on demand message loading work.
+
+We try to write really modern Perl. By following best practices, we
+produce code that's fun to work with. Some of these practices are thin
+controllers, logic-free templates, test suites and tidy, documented
+code.
+
+The result looks like this:
+

+<img src="http://ciderwebmail.org/downloads/screenshot-list-small.png" alt="CiderWebmail message list" />
+</a>
+
+=end pod:xhtml
+
+=head2 Who is "we"?
+
+We are currently two guys from Austria who happen to host mail servers
+and share a dislike for existing webmailers and the love for Perl.
+Mathias is a full time administrator while I (Stefan) am a full time
+developer.
+
+=head2 What you can do
+
+The current version 1.01 is usable. It works for us and already has
+some nice features. But it can be improved on all fronts: It needs:
+
+=over

+

+
+testing (and tests)

+
+cool features!
+
+=item *
+
+better design

+
+... and much more. Any help is greatly appreciated. We know that the
+code is only a part of the whole - a very interesting part to us
+programmers, but itself nearly worthless without the rest or the
+project.
+
+=head2 How to start
+
+You can get the code and information at L<http://ciderwebmail.org>.
+
+There's a project mailing list, available at
+L<http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cider-webmail> If
+you have any questions, problems, ideas, patches, bug reports or
+anything else related to CiderWebmail, you can post there and usually
+receive a quick response.
