Sounds good. Keep your eyes peeled on our wiki page for the next day or 
so, I'll be adding some ideas on how a Horde_Form rewrite could be part 
of a next-gen Horde app development engine. Would standardize things to 
make ajax able to rely on a certain structure, that sort of thing.

You should apply via Google whenever you feel like you have enough 
information to make a good application. Discussion on the list is for 
your benefit if you're unsure of what you want to do, or need more 
specifics on a project, etc. I'll update the wiki to try and make that 
more clear.
