Hi Folks!

Thought I'd point out a web-based Project/CRM
application I just saw called Basecamp. It's a
commercial "hosted" solution.

Various screenshots and tour available starting here:
http://www.basecamphq.com/tour-overview.php

It has some neat features and slick appearance, but
really, doesn't offer anything feature-wise over what
OGo has (other than a discussion system and
milestones).  It has nice views, which appear to be
more project centered than OGo, which is more
"application centered" (i.e. Calendar, Tasks,
Companies/Contacts, etc.).  They also have a view
which shows appointments linked to a project.

I thought I'd point this out since we had that big
discussion on CRM a couple of months ago.  Some of the
kind of view integration shown on basecamp would be
useful to integrate into OGo.  The "dashboard" is a
neat idea, giving a summary of all active stuff. 
Something like that for OGo's news page could be very
useful.

There's also a smaller business version called
Backpack, with screenshots/examples here:

Hope it helps!
