Thanks for passing along the PR link Noah. I'm curious about the same thing. I'm wondering if EOSIO is being used somehow to facilitate breaking the individual Zimbra services in to separate Docker containers, or if its purpose is something even more creative like moving away from storing mailbox content in a relational database (MariaDB) and on-disk blobs to a blockchain format. If it's the latter, that would likely solve several limitations in Zimbra today with storage of user accounts on stateful mailbox nodes, since the mailbox data would be fully decoupled from the mailbox nodes & stored in a decentralized blockchain. 


I was looking at this page https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/wiki/Smart%20Contract & in my brief reading of it, it seems like EOSIO could be applied to both the storage of mailbox data, plus the typical actions taken on individual mailbox messages (deleting, tagging, etc.). 


I'm sure this will land on the agenda for next week's Zeta call.

In case you haven't seen the press release making the social media rounds, and the Zimbra X Beta site linked from the PR. 


Can anyone elaborate on how EOSIO relates? The beta page says it is built on Docker Swarm or Kubernetes.
