Web interface

Hello.

This is my first mail to the list. I hope to help other people in the
future.

I'm looking for a user request system like Lotus Notes but free.
I tried gnats and i think that it's the best solution for my problem,
but I need a web interface for users. Gnatsweb it's ok for 20 clients
or something similar but perl cgis aren't the best thing for a big
request system, and here my question:

Does anyone know a program based in java servlets or something
similar(PHP) for a web based interface? if not, Could be the task
complicated?

Excuse my bad english, but in schools of my country english languge
class is a shit.

Regards,
Alvaro Cortes.

Sorry for the late response.  I had intended on replying to it and
thought I had at some point, but I can't seem to find my reply.

Perl CGI's actually do work fairly well, especially if you tie in things
like mod_perl to speed up (remove) the initialization time of the
interpretor.  Modifying gnatsweb is one of those pet projects one of our
web developers would love to do, if he had the time. :-/  I could see
breaking out the GNATS protocol into a package of its own, i.e.
"Net::GNATS".

I don't think it would be all that complicated.  You could use any of
the language-of-choice's existing protocol libraries as a model.  The
GNATS network protocol is fully documented in the info docs and is
accessible from the GNATS homepage.

Heh.  You're doing fine.  Better than my German, to say the least. ;-)

A while ago I did a version of the web interface in Python. In case you 
are interested, it's still available at:

  http://www.zeesource.net/downloads/

Would be happy to answer any questions.

Thanks for all answers, i'll take a look to your python web interface
and probably i'll try to adapt and my old webmail project based on
servlet to run as a gnat client instead a pop3 client.
