Open Source Law Firm Platform?

In Open Source Radioware, I wrote about Rivendell and other open source software systerms for running radio stations, from Salem Radio Labs.
After reading that, Web-Tones writes,
I have yet to find an open source legal platform that would allow the same thing, but if it is not currently "out there", it most assuredly is coming soon to a theater near you. These offerings have the potential of changing the rules of the game for small to medium size law firms. A low cost, high impact, legal computing platform could be quite disruptive, allowing smaller players to fish in ponds that they were previously excluded from. Given that traditionally, the larger the organization, the slower it adapts, significant "first mover" advantages might be there for the taking. Already competitively priced commercial offerings that rely heavily on open source technologies are starting to point the way in the knowledge management space.
So I'm wondering if things haven't already moved farther than Web-Tones knows.
Do any of ya'll know about something along those lines?

Open Source Law Firm Platform?
Doc,
I think you nailed it with your "because of" analogy. The focus is likely to quickly shift to organizations that are leveraging the "platform" and gaining a competitive advantages based on their "unique" use of it. The platform is not juse a set of technolgies standing alone, but the business processes (human glue) that ties it all together and the degree to which creative use of the technologies allows for improved collaboration between stakeholders, especially those stakeholders participating in critical parts of the value chain.
