Greets;

Perhaps a simple UI concept could be extracted from this ACT!® 2005 
Premium for Workgroups.

This is far more impressive then sugerCRM or vtiger in terms of UI only. 
And a base gpl product would have a following.

Long term strategy:
- migration path complete with pluggin to move data from ACT versions to 
OGoCRM...:)
- outlook plugin exist to cover off MS users
- KDE & Evo pluggin in development for 'nix users
- Mac clients status unknown
- Sun and others...uninteresting..:)

There seems to be a convergence here of standard data mining and 
groupware and OGo already has these features in place. Perhaps in the 
short term perhaps its as simple as bundling a snappy UI (whatever 
happened to Gonsman?) to determine interest and run it as a pilot or 
study for interest.

Just an idea. Thanks Isaac for chiming in and suggesting this.
