I don't know much about this great group-ware (as structure), but i still have few ideas to make it more "standard"
compliant... Actually as i wrote in the new member section, I'm a Solution Architect (Junior), so i have a good knowledge about IT standards...
I found this great software when i was searching for an alternative to MS Exchange, cause im really annoyed of the MS policies
ok let me cut of those comments
...
So.. the Exchange actually is a structured assembly of different standards (LDAP, Kerberos, DNS etc.), and it's highly integrated and dependant on MS Operating System and Software (bad bad bad...).
I was looking for years to a valid alternative to such system without any interesting result, but... i found Open-Exchange and i was surprised of the result (very good) but when i saw the price... well it's better to use MS Server instead..."Personal Comment..."
Right now i see that OGoo is using PHP with only MySQL to manage all the data (and it's good when you don't need advanced features that can modify the Guest OS), it will be good to have more advanced features, like use of LDAP to Access Contacts -
http://directory.apache.org/ and extensive support to Kerberos for Auth... So the user management can be easy integrated with existing *NIX systems and of course support for in-place SMTP mail can be added (Postfix or Sendmail). After this, the software can use the webinterface or a plugin for Thunderbird (i think it will be supported from most of the comunity). I know that this is rocketscience..but this architecture will be the first real project to create a valid alternative to commercial solutions.
Comments are welcome
