Don't underestimate the work, especially as the package is not a
"clean" piece of software already, it does not work yet with GCJ
(if I understood Erwin correctly), etc.

For that you really need a very motivated team and I think it's
worth first investigating of OGo is really not worth a try.

A few years ago someone I know has tested SLOX (the SuSE Linux
bundles with Open Xchange in those days) for his organisation and
he said it didn't work ok (various technical problems, IIRC) and
he then moved to the Horde suite.
