I have using open office for a long time and i have always wanted a open source application for the internet. The group office project looks very promising.

the other lists though seem quite unheard of. Hope this light will lure more users to develop these open source projects.

For the spirit of open source..

For those mashups and yahoo pipes users and even wordpress developers might want to check the “mind touch” platform.

The power of the platform is gigantic and is also fun developing on mind touch, than do some CRM.

We are using Magento… and love it

Thanks so much for the mention! Kaltura also has some free, downloadable extensions for leading web platforms – check out our:
