Hi, I'm a lurker and occasional poster ;)

I have coded a strong ACL's knowledge base system using OO mod_perl and 
includes a web interface.  Besides ACL's, it features many useful knowledge 
management tasks.  Here's a quote from a recent plug:

<blatant plug>
If you are looking for knowledge management system, my company 
provides a product called "DynaOrg" which has a couple man-years behind it 
and does a pretty darn good job of tracking software projects.   We use it 
(and CVS) with my clients, and the response and benefits have been very 
positive.  At the end of an accounting period, we simply request a project  
report and there's our invoice.

It features development time accounting (e.g. we planned to take 8 hours to 
fix this issue, but actual time was 7), documents attachments of any format, 
shared bookmarks, references, point-in-time views, Gantt charts, project and 
department reports, sophisticated ACLs, and other goodies.    It's an OO 
mod_perl n-tier app that sits on top of MySQL (so its quite fast) and has a 
very well documented middleware layer (so one can write their own 
extensions).  An overview is presented on our web site, and a demonstration 
could be arraged along with a user manual.  Let me know if you might be 
interested.

I've looked to get this integrated to other OSS systems before; perhaps Kolab 
is the way to go.  It would be great to be able to push emails to this app as 
well as coordinate authentication.  What do you think?
