Well, when i said "had to be in a subdir of horde", i meant -"without
hacking elsewhere than config files" ;-)
Maybe I'm missing some point, but I thought it would be way simpler to have
once in chora and each other app's config file a path to the horde stuff,
and in horde, as it is, have paths to the different applications...

I agree, but I don't see why it's so "complicated" (not that it is
*complicated* but it could be more centralized).
(see my previous "suggestions")

Please do not take these remarks as anything else than just questions,
nothing aggressive here. I LOVE chora, for all it is, and especially for it
allows me to view my cvs trees in something else than the ugly
cvsweb/viewcvs we use at work!! ;-)
