omCollab - Open Source Powerful Enterprise 2.0 Collaboration Software
http://mike2.openmethodology.org/wiki/OmCollab

omCollab is a powerful, Enterprise 2.0 collaboration product completely built on open source software. It provides a web portal environment to create, share and search Microsoft Office content, files, shared bookmarks, blog posts and wiki articles across the enterprise. omCollab integrates some of the most powerful open source software applications into a single collaborative environment. It enables organisations to drive innovation, collaboration and community building. The capabilities provided by omCollab include: a) A Wiki to collaboratively create and share content (based on MediaWiki which powers Wikipedia, the world's largest Wiki); b) Blogs to publish individual or group-based information (based on Wordpress, the world's most popular blogging platform); c) Social Bookmarking for storing, sharing and discovering web bookmarks. We have released this as omBookmarks, a fork of the codebase from Scuttle; d) Social Networking – "facebook light" functionality for our IM community that is integrated into the other components; e) Forums to support discussion groups and frequently asked questions (based on phpBB, the most widely used open source forums solution); f) Mashup from MIKE2.0, to build integrated solutions based on open content and internally held BearingPoint assets, thus enabling the concept of an Integrated Content Repository for Information Development; g) Search for users to discover content across federated repositories; h) Rich User Interface with advanced navigational components, an integrated skin and single sign on to provide common look and feel across the platform; and i) Open Methodology Compliance (OMC) capability to link an organisation into the MIKE2.0 open standard. There are also a number of extensions to these components, that can be found of the Special:Version page of MIKE2.0. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
