     1. Describe your organization.

  The Horde project is home for the Horde application framework written in PHP.
  The application framework is currently the basis for 45 applications  
written by developers from around the world, including the flagship  
IMP Webmail client, the popular Chora repository viewer, and a  
complete groupware suite. The guiding principles of the Horde Project  
are to create solid standard-based applications using intelligent  
object oriented design, and wide-ranging platform and backend support.  
There is great emphasis on making Horde as friendly to non-English  
speakers as possible. The Horde Framework currently supports many  
localization features such as unicode and right-to-left text, and is  
shipped with translations in over 40 languages.
-The Horde project is around since 1998 and has actively been  
maintaining and updating its code base ever since then. It was one of  
the first larger PHP projects and has set standards for object  
oriented PHP development until this day.

     2. Why is your organization applying to participate in !GSoC  
2010? What do you hope to gain by participating?

  2010 is a milestone for the Horde project because we will be  
releasing the next major version of our application framework Horde 4.  
This will go along with a modernization of our applications, focusing  
on improved usability and ajax interfaces; a PHP component library for  
custom PHP development; and focusing on state-of-the-art PHP 5  
development practices. We hope to both inspire new developers to jump  
on the bandwagon with a modernized development environment, and also  
get help for driving the project forward and finish this process even  
faster.
