Missed my point

Well I hope you are being honest. I apologize for the tone I used. I have seen too many good applications lose sight of their merits and become floundering bloated piles of wishful thinking in the recent past. Primarily by falling prey to the all-in-one syndrome. I have no desire to see that happen to GL. That is my point.

\"Lets add an e-mail client and a full shared calendaring system and a vcard based address book and a Gantt/Pert chart system to go along with the trouble ticket/project manager/bug tracker...\"

The fact is that there is already very good software out there to do these things. Some are integrated some aren\'t, some are web enabled some aren\'t... sometimes it\'s not the tool but the user who needs to be more effective. You say you have Exchange folders that no one checks... well tell them to check them. Send an e-mail with a link. Make it a policy to store shared documents there and nowhere else. Enforce those policies.

I have nothing against adding new functionality to an already very flexible framework. I just think it should be done responsibly from an engineering perspective and not a hype/marketing perspective.
