I have seen this and I think, even downloaded all the pieces. However,
it appears, that on top of a bare Solaris installation you need to
configure about 6 different pieces of it, and those pieces depend on
each other.
I looked around but could not seem to find out exactly what the steps
were and which piece should be installed first. Then I gave up.
However, it does have shared calendaring and even an OutHouse connector,
which would pretty groovy to have working.
