  I believe it was discussed some time ago, but no consensus was really
reached, though I think there was a slight leaning towards
OpenGroupware.  One thing I think there *was* a consensus on at the time
is the *none* of the FOSS groupware servers were really ready for prime
time.  Or even for Fedora Core time ;-).
  The situation may now be different.  I don't know, it's been a while
since I've looked at any of them.  But unless Kolab has moved more
towards standardized operation (i.e.: no weird hacked usage of IMAP
folders, or something like that, I can't member), then I'd lean heavily
away from it.
  In most cases, I'd say it would be alright to include two suites that
do similar things in Extras, but if they are BIG (like OpenGroupware),
then I'd hesitate.  Still, I wouldn't oppose both (or more?) being
included in Extras.
