Kolab
 How do Open Source groupware solutions measure up?Kolab has a high 
profile as the preferred KDE groupware solution and has won a number of 
awards. However, as with Zimbra, it comes as a monolithic bundle of 
modified applications installing as RPMs (of all things) on Debian via 
openpkg. We found the installation rather messy and were not impressed 
with the available documentation. Kolab requires a commercial plugin for 
Outlook compatiblity. The demo Konsec connector we tried did not work with 
Outlook 2003, which was not surprising as documentation was only available 
for Outlook 2000.
Whilst Kolab has a reasonably intuitive management web GUI it has no web 
interface for the user and requires a compatible client (Kontact or 
Outlook). As our Konsec connector did not work with Outlook 2003 we were 
not able to evaluate the group calendaring functionality in the context 
required by our client.

It's unfortenate, but this is not the best comment one can get....
