I don't know, if you're interested in that, but I've got some additions to your suggestions:
* CRM/ERP System: Compiere (http://www.compiere.org/) * XML Editor for Content Editing: Xopus 2 (http://www.xopus.org/) * Content Management System: Wyona (http://www.wyona.org/) * SVG Editing: Kontour (KDE KOffice Application, http://www.koffice.org/kontour/) * eBusiness Integration Open3 Projects and Components (http://www.open3.org/) * Enterprise Network Management: OpenNMS (http://www.opennms.org/) * Single-Sign-On: Liberty Alliance Standard (no products yet?) * Central User Management: ? * Workflow Management: OpenFlow (http://www.openflow.it/EN/) Open Business Engine (http://www.openbusinessengine.org/) Open For Business (http://www.ofbiz.org/) * Instant Messaging: Jabber (http://www.jabber.org/) * Shop/eCommerce Open For Business (http://www.ofbiz.org/) I could imagine even more business areas, where a complete open source based integration would be like heaven. Please give comments, I'm interesting in your suggestions. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Vegan Portal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 14.
