You can try phpGroupware or one of its spin offs like axisGroupware.
Also, I have been playing alot with Mozilla Thunderbird (mail client) and
Mozilla Calendar and am rather impressed. I think you can create calendar
servers and do some cool stuff. I would love to see that in action. Why?
Standards. It is all iCal based. I believe we need standard groupware
interchanges and Mozilla seems to be working towards that. I would love
to help if you need it. I am seeing more of a need of this and would like
some experience in the deep trenches of it. :)
