There is one of which I am aware, having used it at a previous employer: Zimbra Docs.

It is not widely documented or discussed online, for reasons I don't know. Here's a brief 
review, though:

It worked pretty well in my usage, I'd use it again.

Ben zimbra is proprietary as well now owned by vmware. With my luck on trying to start using 
vmware for virtualization as a start up business they have put me off using their products. 
Would be nice to develop a mail client to add to the LO suite.
There appears to be an open source version of Zimbra still: 
http://www.zimbra.com/products/zimbra-open-source.html

Whether it has the same feature set, I'm not sure. As mentioned, the documentation on Zimbra 
Docs is sparse!

I dont know about that, but they have the free zimbra desktop mail client which i have tried and 
am not impressed with.

That client is a different story, and I didn't like it either, but you can use any email client you 
want with the email server. 

Regardless, it's the browser-based word processor, spreadsheet and slideshow creation tools within 
the Zimbra self-hosted server application that we're talking about here. If you haven't looked at 
them, I suggest you do. To my knowledge, they are the closest thing on the internet to a 
self-hosted, open source equivalent to Google Docs.
