Exactly.

So if OGo already contains the same CRM functionality and just lacks a 
proper interface theme which puts the $$$ value of the contact at the 
top of the page instead of hiding it in some tab, we would serve two 
purposes, groupware and CRM, with just one application.

This is actually something I'm looking for, an analysis like:
- the OGo project viewer actually is the same like the opportunity 
viewer, just:
   - put the $$$ extra attribute on the top
   - rename the label from "project" to "opportunity"
   - rename the label "associated companies" to "accounts"

On the other side one could just take SugarCRM pages and rewrite them 
as OGo templates. Seems to be something like 10 or 15 pages showing 
some tableviews, not more.

*Unless* of course SugarCRM indeed provides much more than what I saw.

Greets,
