Yes, I'm currently in the process of trying to get eGroupWare synced from 
Debian, I just need to figure out why it's in experimental. It builds fine in 
a Gutsy sbuild. Umm. The server will be Gutsy, and when Gutsy gets released, 
ScottK thought up of a great marketting scheme to pull in more corporate 
users... something like:

With Ubuntu Server 7.10 and Kubuntu 7.10 you can easily set up an open source 
collaboration server with eGroupWare. It offers seamless integration into 
Kubuntu's KDE-PIM suite, yadda yadda. A shining example of it would be 
Kubuntu Devel's eGroupWare server. 

We'd probably have to get the marketting team to write it up... or a great 
writer from the Kubuntu/Server teams. And, if I'm not mistaken, eGroupWare 
was part of the server team's goals for Gutsy.

Cheers,
Ryan
