Just wanted to get some thoughts from the list.....
We are a public k-12 school and are looking to migrate to a groupware style system for out staff to collaborate better. Currently we are using Squirrelmail/postfix for email. Does anyone have any recommendations/opinions. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I may start a war here, but I'm going to recommend Lotus Notes / Domino as the collaborative software for you. I've had quite a bit of experience with it in a large multi-national company. It can definitely handle all that you may want to throw at it. It does have some draw backs - what doesn't? IBM / Lotus can give your people a great deal of support while they get their legs underneath them. I'm not going to swear to it, but I think they can extend some pretty good terms to public schools. There are all kinds of specialized add-ons as well. Development tools are pretty robust as well.

Has anyone used PHPGroupware? I've been looking at some comparisons with this and it looks like it has alot of features.

I think PHPgroupware is sort of stale, and EGroupware is a fork that just made a release in November or December.
