OpenGoo is a Web-based office productivity suite that attempts to deliver the online benefits of better-known rivals, such as Google Apps and Zoho Office, without the "our way or the highway" hosting limitations of those services. OpenGoo is released under an open-source license, and it will run on any LAMP server. For organizations that prefer a hosted option, OpenGoo is available as a subscription service under the name Feng Office. eWEEK Labs found that while OpenGoo falls short of its cloud-based competition in overall functionality, the suite's deployment flexibility and knack for knitting together promising open-source Web office components make OpenGoo worth keeping an eye on.

- LABS GALLERY: Web-Based OpenGoo Office Productivity Suite Is Worth Watching
by Jason Brooks - Installing OpenGoo
OpenGoo installation involves dropping the project's code into the Web folder of your LAMP server, visiting a configuration page and walking through basic setup steps. - Getting Started
OpenGoo presented me with a dashboard that laid out further steps for configuring my application instance. - Dashboard
Once I'd been using OpenGoo for a while, I could return to the dashboard for an overview of the documents, events, messages and other items in my workspaces. - Document Editing
I found it fairly easy to create new documents in OpenGoo. - Font Issues
I did, however, experience some issues keeping my document fonts consistent—OpenGoo had a way of reverting to Arial in some cases. - Document Management
OpenGoo wouldn't let me edit .doc or .odt documents—HTML is the suite's format of choice. Regardless of the document format, however, I could upload, download, check out and manage versioning on my word processor files. - E-mail
The OpenGoo e-mail component is decent—nothing I would leave Gmail or Outlook for, but potentially useful for specific project-related mail accounts. - Administration
OpenGoo organizes its management functions under an easily navigable administration tab. - Backup
I installed an optional module to create backups of the files and databases that made up my installation. - Calendar
The OpenGoo calendar works well enough online, but it's rather light on mobile device and calendar server syncing options. A simple iCal import is as far as this component goes. - Contacts
OpenGoo offers a solid contact management feature. - Contact Import
I imported a bunch of contacts into OpenGoo from a CSV file and used the system's field matching interface to get my data lined up correctly. - Notes
OpenGoo sports a notes feature, which I used here to jot down the various open-source components that make up the suite. - Reports
The system's reporting module makes it easy to pull up views of the data stored within OpenGoo. - Tasks
I didn't get too fancy with OpenGoo's tasks feature, but this component can be used to manage projects across teams of workers.
