I've created this page:

http://wiki.horde.org/SecurityManagement

It may make sense to move this to the main website eventually, but I  
figure it could do with editing by other core folks first. It's locked  
to guests; please email this list or the vendor list if you do not  
have a dev.horde.org account and have suggested changes.
