Re: [PLUG] Groupware Alternatives

For the calendar, you could give a try to Davical. That's what I run on 
my personal server and it works fine with Sunbird, aCal on Android, and 
the Calendar plugin of Roundcube.

I've been wanting to write about that setup for a while. Didn't happen 
yet. But basically, Davical is a PHP application that processes CalDav 
HTTP requests and store the events in a Postgresql database. I hear 
CalDav is becoming more and more of a standard, so it's a good choice in 
the long run.
