Hi.
Has somebody ever looked at Citadel http://www.citadel.org/, a groupware solution, and maybe considered including it in Fedora?
Among all the pseudo-OSS and/or the too huge/too complex groupware packages that are around, this one looks rather promising.
I heard that it is now also included in Debian.

I was attempting to package it some years ago, but then I got really busy with school and never finished. With the advent of Google Apps I'm no longer interested in it. Though given the non-freeness of Google Apps we really need a free equivalent, and Citadel is probably the closest thing to it right now.
(I began my online life dialing up Citadel BBSs in the Minneapolis area in 1993-94, including a Citadel/UX board that ran on an early Slackware that gave out shell accounts, the first time I ever used Linux. The rest is history...)

Really other is not OSS? [1] For example I'm recently start use eGroupWare [2] and now working on packaging (in fact adopting from Suse rpm) it for Fedora. It is on GPL.

I didn't say that all other groupware is not OSS (note the "and/or").
But eGroupware looks at least much more complex and has the caveat that the main documentation is available only commercially, AFAICS, which always gives me a bad feeling.
Anyway, it's always good to have it packaged for Fedora.
