{X}

not packaged, single developer and requires patches to apache source

openchange

(./) openchange

{OK} experimental, alpha software

OpenGroupware.org

{X}

Alioth pkg-ogo -- It's GPL; why is no one packaging? Previous packages removed (RoM). Upstream packages available. Nobody is working on Debian packages. Upstream development slow/unclear/moved to SOGo. Needs special fork of gnustep-make to build

Scalable OpenGroupware.org

{X}

(fork of OpenGroupware.org) not packaged; Patched to build with official gnustep-make as available in sid (compare ?OpenGroupware); providing a good default-configuration/debconf-support will be a bit difficult; upstream software has RC status, but has promising functionality (see below)

Open-Xchange

{X}

packaging being prepared, see Open-Xchange; lots of dependencies need to be prepared

phpGroupWare

(./) phpgroupware

{OK} etch and later

tine

Features

Roughly, we consider groupware to include:

  • email
  • addressbook
  • calendar
  • tasks
  • notes

and integration between these components.

Other functionality such as chat or ticket systems are not considered on this page.
