Well i say that we've added 'modules'... i mean we've hacked other php (some non
php apps) to behave like modules and use the same auth umbrella.

1) Project/WorkOrder/Ticket System (DoubleChocaLatte)
2) Quick and dirty network shares browser.
3) Website Traffic Analysis Reports.
4) a portal to our existing admin/intranet site.

Other "considered" additions:
1) A documentation/faq module
2) A horde -> mailman preferences gateway of some kind. (mentioned by several
people in the horde lists).

But really nothing that would qualify as 'modules' per say.  Just some fun
hacking to consolidate our internal web resources under one roof.

I'll check those out, thanks.

I intend to ;-), as it is more fun than hacking on the coldfusion which my job
unfortunately entails maintaining.
