Ha!  I've looked and there isn't a whole lot out there.  openwebmail is 
pretty nice, but it's calendar and address book are pretty darned weak
and it doesn't even try to do task management.  I don't know about 
openwebmail's internals, but it does a lot of things very well.

And even the PHP groupware is pretty weak.  There's really a desperate 
need for a truly good groupware implementation.  Personally I'd rather 
that be done in Perl.  (I've got a few other preferences like XUL moz 
client and bugzilla integration, but that's just my dream.  :)  While 
people can still honestly have any real justification left for hanging on 
to Outlook the world has a dark cloud over it.  If I can't make the time 
to write it I'm going to have to find somebody to pay me to write it 
because I'm really tired of not having it.

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make 
it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way 
is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
