I looked into eGroupware a few years ago to use at work for our department. It
seemed to work fine, but the users weren't interested in using it, possibly
due to a crappy user-side interface.
A year or so ago I started with Sharepoint Services and now the users seem to
be more receptive to using a groupware, although it's only for Bookings and as
a general Events holder-together-thing. Might be the integration with Outlook
that was the turning-point now. In any case, the implementation we use
currently is pretty basic; mostly events- and booking-calendars. And of course
my of sub-site I use to log software rollouts and similar.
YMMV as they say. 8-)

I haven't messed with it but I think it does. The biggest difference being
that it's open source. They have made the source code available on
sourceforge. Not that I'm a big enough geek to do anything with it. I'm also
pretty sure Ray will never touch a Mac. But there are several products built
around the same standard, many for Windows so Ray can find his solution and
keep his integrity.

Seems like iCal Server has more or less the same set of features as Windows
Sharepoint Services has.

there are several products out there that use a standard protocol. Apple
Xserve is the biggest name that comes to mind that uses it but there are lots
of others out there. it's the CalDAV standard. Google that and you shoudl
find lots of hits
Try these links:

Hi list,
Aside from Exchange and web-based things like Google's, does anyone know of
any client/server calendar apps? A friend of mine uses a program called
Calendar Scope and recommends it. There is a corporate version that would
allow me to have one central calendar that multiple clients can access. This
would be ideal for me, since most of my computer-time is spent at work, but I
want to maintain my personal calendar info at home. So, I was going to set it
up at home and open up access over the Internet so that I could access the
same info while away from home. But, I cannot even download trial software.
These idiots who make this software make you go through a contact process in
order to get TRIAL software (this server version). I did all that, and a week
has passed without any follow-up from the automated "You will hear from us in
1-2 business days" response. So, now I'm looking for something else.
Please don't recommend anything that is web-based.
Thanks,
Ray
