Anyone tried opengroupware.org yet?

[Phoenician]

I would love to hear your results.  I was forced to migrate to
Exchange-headache 2000
and my boss was like "What are the advantages of Exchange supposed to be?
Seems like it
noticeably slower now".

There has been a little buzz lately about this software.  Their website
http://opengroupware.org has a lot of great information and some
screenshots.  This organization is somehow related to the openoffice.org
team.  They are pushing it as an Exchange replacement...just think, no more
CALS.  It was just released on 7/11/2003, so they are looking for people to
install and test it in a lab environment.   I worked on it some this morning
to demo for a client.  There are some things to watch for in the install,
but the proprietary version of the software (Skyrix) has been in production
for several years (7 or so), so it's not a beta.  It interfaces with Outlook
rather nicely, but you have to pay for that plug-in (Zidelook).  I won't be
able to touch this again until probably the weekend, but I'll post my notes
when I'm done for those who are interested.  You can sign up for a demo
account with Skyrix to see the proprietary version in action as well.
