Now groupware, thats an interesting thought. I used to
work with Lotus Notes, about the best general
groupware app anywere, and its not that great.
5,000,000+ lines of code and it tends to be a buggy
mess half the time (though far better then the
alternatives). 

A good group where app would probably be a 'Killer
App' and catch the eye of quite a few good size
corporations. Not to mention what it could do for the
open source world in general.

Unfortunatly this is no simple application no matter
how you look at it.
