Great!

I agree. I have a number of todos and saved example sites for  
improving the developer-oriented aspects of www.horde.org and/or  
dev.horde.org, which should include promoting incubator apps as well.

We're in an interesting position here in that the future of Horde 4  
development (which is essentially what the incubator stuff is) is PHP  
5.3+, but there's a bunch of PHP 5.2 code now that runs well and that  
you at least are using in production. I don't know if there's an ETA  
on PHP 5.3.0 yet, but how do you feel about the newer code moving that  
way?
