[Users] February 18, 2020 Zeta Alliance Conference Call Summary

[Marc Gadsdon]

Hi Randy,

As always, thanks very much for writing up these summaries. Super useful.

> The Zimbra 9 back-end
> uses the same back-end as Zimbra 8 and is about 85% the same codebase. 

I understood that the 9.0 backend contains much of the codebase as Zimbra X, but without all the container stuff. Come to think of it, I thought it was 85% but I also remember that being mentioned in relation to 8.8.x too, so now I'm a bit uncertain. Perhaps one to clarify on the next call, or we'll just have to be patient and wait for a release to investigate properly!

> The React UI is currently targeted
> for improving the experience for end users, while the administrative Zimbra UI
> remains the same as found in version 8. 

One other key point we talked about, which I think people will be keen to know, is that the new React UI will be able to co-exist with the legacy UI and be used simultaneously - e.g. 1 browser, 2 tabs, each logged into the same mailbox.
