I believe it was discussed some time ago, but no consensus was really reached, though I think there was a slight leaning towards OpenGroupware. One thing I think there *was* a consensus on at the time is the *none* of the FOSS groupware servers were really ready for prime time. Or even for Fedora Core time ;-). The situation may now be different. I don't know, it's been a while since I've looked at any of them. But unless Kolab has moved more towards standardized operation (i.e.: no weird hacked usage of IMAP folders, or something like that, I can't member), then I'd lean heavily away from it. In most cases, I'd say it would be alright to include two suites that do similar things in Extras, but if they are BIG (like OpenGroupware), then I'd hesitate. Still, I wouldn't oppose both (or more?) being included in Extras. -- -Paul Iadonisi Senior System Administrator Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux.
