I tested a previous version earlier this year. It's really great, but also has some down sides. Positive: - free / OSS - full featured e-mail & calendar server Negative: - resource hog (written in Java) - many duplicate work inside, as uses it's own apache / postfix / clamav - some interesting features are missing from the OSS version
So, practically it can be installed over a base installation of openSUSE and needs a dedicated (virtual) machine. While I'm not sure, if this is something to be bundled with openSUSE, it would be great, if it could be ported to 10.2 or factory (when tested, only SuSE 10.0 was supported).
I have looked into this too in the past, however I concluded that integration requires a fairly large amount of work, unfortuantely this guys does not realize that distributions already has many of that components and insist on consistent, annoying and non-sense wheel reinvention. *sigh*
In case you want a groupware solution added to opensuse, you might as well look at kolab http://www.kolab.org/ and http://wiki.kolab.org with its opensuse page is at http://en.opensuse.org/Kolab Just this week kolab-2.1.0 has been released. Kolab uses only open source applications, it is very scalable each service could be run on a seperate system (BTW: this is the power of kolab it can support literally (10?) thousands of users). It's secure, it has a healty and friendly community. Further more the developers are working very hard together with the horde project to make horde the webinterface to kolab: http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Horde Once this is finished one has a very nice groupware solution: kolab as server, a webinterface and fat clients like kontact, thunderbird and Outlook. -- Richard Bos We are borrowing the world of our children, It is not inherited from our parents. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
