See my other mail. What I envision for OGo is an interface which can  
work on top of ZideStore and on SOGo at the same time. Would be cool,  
but we'll see ;-)

The difference between OGo and SOGo is not so much in the number of  
applications but in the depth of functionality of the applications.

Eg your paper desktop calendar but still a "calendar" but it doesn't  
have the same functionality than even the simplest software calendar.  
Though it does have additional "features", eg it works during power  
outage ;-)

As mentioned in my other mail SOGo is extremely stable by design. For  
example it has a completely stateless web interface, so you can  
restart servers w/o the user noticing (no session data lost). This  
for examples makes memory leaks less problematic than with OGo.
Less functionality means less bugs :-)

But overall, its still in development and a moving target. There is  
no release management nor packages. OGo trunk has less radical  
changes than SOGo tags :-)
