The Horde Project is a group of developers who write web applications using
|
|
the Horde Application Framework, itself a product of the project.
|
|
|
|
The Horde Application Framework is a flexible, modular, general-purpose web
|
|
application framework written in PHP. It provides an extensive array of
|
|
components that are targeted at the common problems and tasks involved in
|
|
developing modern web applications: libraries for dealing with preferences,
|
|
compression, browser detection, connection tracking, MIME, and more.
|
|
|
|
The Horde Framework, by itself, does not provide any significant end user
|
|
functionality; it provides a base for other applications and tools for
|
|
developers. You will probably want to install some of the available Horde
|
|
applications, such as IMP (a webmail client), or Kronolith (a calendar). There
|
|
is a list of Horde applications and projects at http://www.horde.org/apps.
|
|
|
|
This software is OSI Certified Open Source Software. OSI Certified is a
|
|
certification mark of the `Open Source Initiative`_.
