Do consider http://pyd.io/ (previously ajaxplorer)

I liked the idea of Owncloud, but it seems a huge ball of potential XSS 
risk, with very regular security fixes (every version seems to fix xss 
problems, it's not a one off).

I think Kolab does everything except files and filesharing.  I would 
personally like to see Kolab become every more modularised (I can't use 
LDAP) and effectively become a bunch of loosely connected plugins for 
Roundcube.  I *think* this is approximately what we have today, (which 
is terrific), so really I'm just agreeing on direction.

With that in mind, I think the main things which are needed are a chwala 
integration with DAV.  Also consideration of supporting DB integration 
of contacts/diary as a primary data store would be helpful (ie 
integration with some DAV server which is driven from a DB)
