This is probably a bit off-topic, but I'm pretty close to pulling my

over this one.
My company and I are currently using a vastly-inferior calendaring
program
called Meetingmaker and desperately need to move to something that gives
us a
full-featured company calendaring solution without all sorts of extra
cruft
(read: file sharing, task tracking, webmail, etc.). I've looked at
OpenGroupware.org, Open Exchange, Oracle Calendar, Hula Server, Sun
Calendar
and a whole slew of web-based calendars from Freshmeat. None of them
are
anywhere close to what we need.
We need cross-platform rich clients (OSX, Sun, Windows and Linux), asset
reservation capabilities, proxies/assistants for administrative
assistants
and sync'ing with Palms at the minimum.
Oracle Calendar does all of this happily, why was it not close to what you
want?
Whilst I can't speak for the original poster, Oracle, open-xchange,
opengroupware & lotus are all quite heavy weight to get going compared to
meetingmaker ;-)
Have you tried looking at MeetingMaker 8.5 with some of the extra options?
We have it working with openldap for user provision & group maintainence
using the ldap plugin. The new HTML client makes up for the lack of
Linux/Solaris client too.
"file sharing, task tracking, webmail, etc." in one package still seem's
like it's a way off yet, and by it's nature is bound to have several
dependancies (enterprise directory, backend database, MTA's, web server's
et al) Open-xchange/Oracle Colab Suite are as close as you're going to get
- good luck :)
