I don't understand this link, it points to Retroshare which is
self-described as: "Retroshare is a cross-platform private p2p sharing
program. It lets you share securely your friends, using a web-of-trust
to authenticate peers and OpenSSL to encrypt all communication.
RetroShare provides filesharing, chat, messages and channels."

OpenGroupware is a groupware server,  so I don't see the overlap with a
peer-to-peer system.  As you describe it "serverless" and OGo is a
*server*. :)  But maybe I'm just missing something obvious.

If you want to support the RS protocol and the RS protocol is HTTP based
you can probably implement a ZideStore bundle.  If you want to support
it in the WebUI when you need to create a bundle there.  Check out
http://svn.opengroupware.org/viewcvs/trunk/Misc/ for example WebUI
bundles and
http://svn.opengroupware.org/viewcvs/trunk/ZideStore/Protocols/ for
examples of ZideStore bundles.
