What is Bongo?

We're creating fun and simple e-mail & calendaring software. We want our inboxes to be usable again: e-mail should be a useful tool, not a productivity killer. We want to be able to use our calendars to organise our lives, and we want other people to be able to interact with us through it whether they use Bongo or not.

Although Bongo is a young project, the software itself has a long pedigree and we are simply amongst the latest custodians. But while the core code isn't new, the ideas we have and the direction we're taking are. We're not trying to create a "groupware" system to compete with well-known proprietary systems, or create an "enterprise platform" which encompasses everything from document management to project planning.

Best of all, Bongo is free (as in "freedom") software developed by an open community: we pride ourselves on being friendly and welcoming, and we see our project as being complementary to similar community projects.

Sounds good!

You're welcome to download Bongo, try it out, let us know what you think. We'd like you to get more involved, though! We welcome all feedback, and you don't need to be able to hack on code to talk to us.

We have an F.A.Q, of course, and a guide on how to install - then you can find out about getting involved and how to become part of the community!
