Have little experience of off-the-peg groupware solutions such as Outlook/Exchange or Notes but guess they will cost you lots of Euros. I can imaging building/installing just about everything you might need for group activities on a Zope server. http://www.zope.org <paste from zopesite> Zope is the leading Open Source web application server. Zope enables teams to collaborate in the creation and management of dynamic web-based business applications such as intranets and portals. Zope makes it easy to build features such as site search, news, personalization, and e-commerce into your web applications. </paste> It runs on Linux of course and will even run on windoze if you really must. There are a lot of community-contributed products for Zope including Wikis, Calendars and news and discussion lists such as Squishdot which runs http://dot.kde.org . Best of all you can write scripts for it in Python, but it's not fussy, it can take Perl as well. OK, I admit it, I like it because it's fun to play with!
