You can find documentation about the server setup in the docs at 
www.kroupware.org. Documentation about the client doesn't really exist yet, 
so I guess you have to look at the kmail/korganizer/kaddressbook sources. It 
shouldn't be too difficult since all components use standard iCalendar 
implementations.

That depends greatly on how much you already have. If you have none of the 
components, you have a *very* big job ahead of you. If you already have a 
calendar that uses iCalendar (or vCal), notes, mail (IMAP) and addressbook 
(vCard), it shouldn't be difficult to start setting up the stuff. We are not 
using any exotic technologies in this project but are "simply" putting the 
pieces together.
