I'd recommend this calendar and contacts server. I installed it at work today. The simplicity of its installation, and its to-the-point documentation puts it head and shoulders above the other groupware packages I've vetted. [Link.]

I'm a socialist to the extent that I believe it's society's moral imperative to sacrifice its largess to eliminate human suffering.

It is more honest to be a miner rather than an investment banker, but spending your whole life doing either, I think, shows a dearth of imagination.
