 ++ Introduction
 
 This tutorial is intended to give designers a first insight on how to modify the default Horde 3 layout. We are not talking here about creating a new theme for the default layout (you can consult more about that in the ThemesHowTo page), but to alter completely the layout (frames included). At the current version of Horde, this requires a substantial amount of work, as you need to mess with a good deal of HTML and CSS files.

 If you are a web designer, you should know a good deal of HTML, Javascript, CSS, and PHP. This tutorial assumes you know all this, thus the HTML, CSS and Javascript conflicts between Mozilla and Internet Explorer. About Horde Framework knowledge, we will assume you don't know its internals, so we will give as well a short insight of the process Horde follows in order to deliver the applications the user needs.
 
 ++ What is Horde?
 
-Horde is... (This should explain what the Framework is, and make a difference between the Horde Framework and Horde Applications).
+Horde is an "Application Framework," this is, a set of tools created in order to aid a programmer to easily implement a web application. Thus, with Horde, you can make your application be used by other Horde applications, i.e.,  you can use the contacts module, Turba, to store contact mails to be used when sending mail using IMP, the webmail application.
+
+The Horde default download only includes the framework. When you install it, you will see the most basic functions only, that is, nothing useful to the user. You need to install other modules in order to give your site more features. As of June 2005, the features you can install from the Horde site are:
+
+* Webmail - Implemented by IMP. The most popular Horde module.
+* Contacts book - Implemented by Turba. Almost always installed together with IMP, but is capable of working with other modules.
+* News - Implemented by Jonah.
+* Bookmarks storage - See Trean.
+* Web calendar - See Kronolith.
+* Other features you can see in the projects page.
