Hi, I'm Jon Ciesla, I maintain a number of web application packages for 
Fedora, including drupal, moodle, gallery2, and wordpress.  First off, 
zarafa, zinha, and wordpress are all already in Fedora, so hopefully 
that will save you duplicating effort.  Secondly, a good way to learn 
about packaging generally is to look at existing spec files.  I'm not 
holding up mine as paragons of excellence, but I'd recommend having a 
look at specs for all of the above to get a feel for how they work.
