  +++ What can Horde do for me?
  If you are writing a new web application Horde provides a graphical  
framework for integrating with other applications.  Horde provides  
space in a portal view on login where applications can display summary  
information such as the number of open tickets, unread email, latest  
stock prices and more.  In addition to the portal screens Horde is  
responsible for generating the main navigation menu that unifies all  
installed applications into a browse-able tree.  Finally Horde  
provides the user interface to do most of the system-wide  
configuration your application will need to function after installation.

  +++ What can Framework do for me?
-The Framework provides hundreds of libraries for all manner of  
functionality necessary for creating web applications.  In some cases  
there are further dependencies on data storage backends such as an SQL  
database or on PEAR libraries, but the majority of the Framework  
libraries only depend on each other if at all.  In some cases other  
projects have made use of Framework code within projects, notably the  
web browser detection and management class ("Horde_Browser").

  An excellent resource for the capabilities of the Framework packages  
is the Framework PHPdoc pages found at  
http://dev.horde.org/api/framework.  In case you are looking for a  
class that does not appear to be listed in the main class list (for  
example Util or Registry) take a look at the Horde_Framework and  
Horde_Util pages.
