If you are referring to configuring what appears in the horde menu, that
is done by an administrator, via the 'setup' screens for each application.
 If *you* are asking, as an administrator how to do this, or how to
configure 'locked' prefs,  or even if your writing your own horde
application, you will find *very* friendly and helpful advise on the
mailling lists.

Depending on what documentation you are looking for there are INSTALL
files in the docs/ directories and there is *a lot* of useful information
on our wiki (wiki.horde.org).

In some cases, I would agree, but given the choice of fixing actual bugs
in functionality, implementing new, requested features, or writing
documentation - I know what most of the (relatively few) developers that
contribute to the project would choose...
