I've > found what seem to be the big two, eGroupWare, and OpenGroupWare. I and some other people here at Real-Time evaluated OpenGroupware; and found it to be pretty vile. Lousy user interface, bad packaging, wasn't easy to set up, limited add-on modules (at least that were readily apparent), and the documentation was spotty at best. it appears that opengroupware is a crippled version of Skyrix; so it doesn't fully stand on its own, it's propped up by a commercial company. I've been trying phpgroupware for the last couple of days; and it's a world better. Easy to set up, easy to use, and offers a lot of functionality in add-on modules. I'm also told that it can directly interface with KDE desktop components via kioslaves; so the KDE calendar can read the phpgroupware calendar, etc. phprojekt looked interesting, and definitely has some good ideas. phpgrouware seems to have a lot more features and polish tho. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
