Currently there is no stable OGo version (besides SKYRIX 5 of course), 
this is being worked on right now and will be released soon. The 
current version is OGo 1.0alpha10.

SLES 9 will be fully supported by OGo 1.0, including support for YaST 
based installations. Packages are available here:

Yes, Skyrix has several customers using OGo/Skyrix5 on SLES 9.

Well, first of all OGo is not a discontinued product. As you have 
probably noticed SuSE OpenExchange is EOL, the vendor of the groupware 
component is supposed to provide a replacement product though.

The SuSE OpenExchange Server is:
a) SLES
b) Cyrus
c) some Groupware component

OGo basically replaces c). I suppose from a high-level point of view c) 
and OGo provide similiar stuff. Its in the details what you might 
prefer. Some pros for OGo:
- server not written in Java
- codebase about twice as long in deployment
- working Outlook connector
- free and open project, excellent community
- integrated email client
- everything based on plugins and components
- broad support for native clients
There are meriads of other small things which may or may not matter to 
you.

Greets,
