Group-Office is a PHP based dual license commercial/open source groupware product developed by Dutch company Intermesh. The Open Source version, GroupOffice Community, is licensed under the GPL, and is available via SourceForge. GroupOffice Professional is a commercial product.
The online suite puts independent office applications onto a central server, making them accessible through a web browser. [2] The suite includes addressbook, calendar, email, timesheet, notes and website content management modules. The email client has IMAP and POP3 support, the calendar supports iCalendar import, and the professional version can be synchronised with personal digital assistants,[3] mobile phones,[4] and Microsoft Outlook.[5] In the Professional version, it is possible to create templates to export to OpenOffice.org.[3] Files can be managed in an inbuilt file manager, and accessed through Samba, with webDAV support planned.[3] Users may be managed within the application or in an LDAP system.[6] The content management system includes an HTML editor, but also allows external editors to be used.[3]
A LAMP environment is recommended on the server,[6] and an OSNews.com review describes the installation process as "straightforward".[6] Linux is recommended as the system software, but it also runs on other Unix systems, including BSD Unix, including Mac OS X.
As of November 2006, the project has had over 146,000 downloads from SourceForge since its public appearance in March 2003.[7] Group-Office has had a stall and presentations at Linux Wochen 2005 in Vienna.[8], and OSC2005 in Tokyo. [9] The software has been translated into 27 locale[10] with local communities in Japan [1] and Austria [2]. Version 2.13 of the software was included in the Dutch The Open CD [11]
