Cool, more people from Quebec (prov.) :) I like it ;)  A few month ago, I've
send a patch for multiuser/shared system for Horde  and after a few rewrite
by some horde developper, it's currently used in a few modules (kronolith,
nag, mnemo, ...?) but when I will have more spare time, I will continue to
fix bug on it and finish/submit my code for Gollem Shared Folder, etc...

I think that a section about "submitting" patch exist in the docs/ directory
of Horde (HACKING/CONTRIBUTING/...) But leak some information about
"creating" the patch. (man cvs, man diff, etc...) :((
