Horde Groupware is a free, enterprise ready, browser based collaboration suite. Users can manage and share calendars, contacts, tasks and notes with the standards compliant components from the Horde Project.
Horde Groupware bundles the separately available applications Kronolith (a calendar application), Turba (a Horde address book / contact manager), Nag (a multiuser task list manager) and Mnemo (a note manager). The email component enables users to create distribution lists and has a WYSIWYG edtior with a spellchecker.
