Just so I'm sure on the the basic difference between a groupware system 
and a CMS. A groupware would probably be used more for businesses where 
sharing calendars, files and having your email avail online etc.

A CMS is more for posting about events and news and decentralizing the 
web site administor so that it can be just about anybody depending on 
permissions.

Some of the functionality is shared between the two right?
