Gentle Sievesters,
I have revised the Sieve White Paper, which is available at:
<http://www.cyrusoft.com/sieve/sievewhitepaper.pdf>
While this is listed as Version 2.00, it is more a sort of 1.1 in terms of
revisions. The substance of the revisions is as follows:
- corrected some lingering typos from the last version
- updated all the appropriate document numbers and references to same, most
notably the change of the base document from ID to PS/RFC3028. I also
updated a few products mentioned which have changed names in the past year.
I double-checked the examples against the final 3028 syntax and found
nothing lacking, but perhaps another set of eyes would be helpful.
- illustrated some references to previously fictitious proposed extensions
with their real-life counterparts, notably Ken and Tim Martin's extensions.
- added some screenshots of Mulberry 2.1, since it was the best
illustration I could find of a graphical Sieve editor. By all means, if
you'd like to use your own product as an illustration, send me links to
list on the website. I gotta work with what I have 8-).
- I added an extra section: "The Future: A Sieve Manifesto" to make it even
more obvious what I think people should do with Sieve, most especially
since it's advancing on standards track finally.
This is linked live off the Cyrusoft and Sieve websites, since I consider
this the final version of this document, but as ever, kindly suggestions
for its improvement shall be warmly entertained by the author. Translation:
send me comments if ya got 'em.
I will be updating the Sieve website to reflect the new document numbers
later in the week, as well as some press links we've gotten in the last six
months, and as I've been widely hinting, NOW would be a good time to send
me your allowable company/product news in the interests of establishing a
bandwagon effect for Sieve.
Grazie!!
