Citadel/UX
Remarks:
Art started Citadel/UX in October of 1987, and though it does not contain any code from other Citadels it is very similar to Citadel-86. Art has done a great job creating a UNIX based Citadel that is more than a newsreader. Though you can gate Internet e-mail and newsgroups. This system contains many of the features found in DOS-based Citadels. As with a lot of UNIX software Citadel/UX is freeware and it's been tested on many flavours of UNIX. Art can be reached via Internet email at ajc@uncnsrd.org.
As of a recent version (which?) Citadel/UX has been rebranded as Citadel. To avoid confusion on this wiki, the original Citadel will be referred to as Citadel and Citadel/UX (now Citadel) will be referred to as Citadel/UX, unless quoting directly from Citadel/UX material.
Wikipedia:Citadel/UX
Citadel/UX (typically referred to simply as "Citadel") is a collaboration suite (messaging and groupware) that is descended from the Citadel family of programs which became popular in the 1980s and 1990s as a bulletin board system platform. It is designed to run on open source operating systems such as Linux or BSD. Although it is still being used widely on bulletin board systems, in 1998 the developers began to expand its functionality to a general purpose groupware platform.
In order to modernize the Citadel platform for the Internet, the Citadel/UX developers added functionality such as shared calendars, instant messaging, and built-in implementations of Internet protocols such as SMTP, IMAP, Sieve, POP3, GroupDAV and XMPP. All protocols offer OpenSSL encryption for additional security.
Users of Citadel/UX systems also have available to them a web-based user interface which employs Ajax style functionality to allow application-like interaction with the system.
Citadel uses the Berkeley DB database for all of its data stores, including the message base.
The software is open source, and released under the GPL.
Citadel/UX files
If interested in the latest version of Citadel/UX, please see the website, as they have a nice EasyInstall script, and .debs for the Debian and Ubuntu lovers out there.
Source is also available from there, as is SVN access if you need to be on the bleeding edge.
