no stable update of opengroupware ?
by od8 - Dec 12th 2008 13:11:13
why where's no stable update of opengroupware ?
The alone stable version (v1.0) is very old !
Is it possible to use opengroupware 1.1.7 in enterprise ?
Thanks.
OD.

I'd heard of OGO on and off for some years, but never looked at it
seriously (I've been a Lotus Notes administrator then developer for over 10
years). However, since I started to look at it a month or so ago, I've
come to realise that as groupware OGO offers very many of the features that
Notes offers. For sure, OGO is not going to be as scalable as Notes (maybe
SOGO is), but because OGO implements WebDAV, groupDAV and xml-rpc
interfaces it is possible to develop your own application front-ends to the
core API (just as you can in Notes).
What put me off OGO for a long time was the default interface shown in the
screenshot linked above these comments. Well, first let me say, you can
only get an idea of how cleverly implemented OGO is when you start to work
with it. For example, the IMAP mail client implemented as a web app is the
most fully-functional IMAP webmail client I've seen. There are large ISPs
who offer an IMAP web-client that is positively stone-age compared to OGO's
implementation.
To really get an idea of how good OGO is, you must install it and play
around with it for at least a few hours. Then you will start to see how
flexible it is and how well-integrated the various components are (mail,
document-management, project-management, tasks, contacts,
calendaring).
I would suggest starting by getting the InstantOGO cd image and installing
it inside a virtual machine (VirtualBox worked best for me). In terms of
reading to orient yourself as to what to expect, get the brief user manual:
http://www.opengroupware.org/en/users/docs/manual/index.html . Finally, if
you decide to install it for yourself, expect to spend far more time
twiddling with Postfix/Cyrus getting them to work right than you will spend
getting OGO to work. If that all sounds like too much work, then just buy
a license for InstantOGO.
The people on the mailing list are very knowledgeable and very helpful.
When I was struggling getting part of my install to work, one guy even
produced a new set of packages to get me going. Clearly there is a lot of
passion here - where else do you see such incredible support?
Finally, don't put off evaluating OGO just because you don't like the
default web UI. Once you've got it up and running, each user you create
can select one of several different skins, some of which are far more
aesthetically appealing (well, to me anyway).

demo site?
by MolecularBear - Jan 23rd 2006 15:09:10
Is there a reason why you don't have a demo site set up? This project
looks like it could suit my needs, but I don't have way to really
know without testing it out. And if testing it out means that I have to
spend 30-60 minutes downloading/installing/configuring the software, then
I'm going to pass on to a project that does have a demo site.

Yes, the reason is that the software can deal with some
thousand of users, but not with the hundreds of thousands
which visit the site each month :-)
For a quick evaluation of the software you might want to try the
OGo Knoppix Live CD which should be available on the net.

Maybe you could have the software purge every hour like many demos?

What is the relationship between this product and OpenGroupware.org?
by Charles Duffy - Jul 11th 2003 08:31:48
Per subject. Is SKYRiX doing further development only on their commercial
product? Basing their commercial product off the open source one (a la
Mozilla and Netscape)? Is this effectively a commercially supported version
of OpenGroupware.org, are there additional benefits?
Inquiring minds want to know! :)

The OpenGroupware.org CVS will be the main CVS
for SKYRIX developers. The upcoming SKYRiX 5
will be basically a maintained distribution of OGo, but also include some
additional features, like a load balancer, Oracle and Sybase support, CTI
integration.
Also check the about section on OGo:
