It is _brutally_ painful to get setup and running, I spent much of the day
yesterday fighting with it.  Very very fussy, no real configure scripts,
lots of hacking Makefiles, etc.

Also It's more catered to a business working environment, calendars and such
so I'm not sure how well it would apply here.  It doesn't cover a lot of the
bases that we need.
