Without knowing what your ideas are, I know a number of us (myself  
included) have personal blogs and sites that mention Horde stuff, I'd  
like to either see these receive more attention on the horde site, or  
maybe even use Thomas as a platform for displaying this type of  
stuff...of course, then there's the issue of actually taking the time  
to write the entries, but that's a different story ;)

Also, if you need help with any of this... or even need a temporary  
place to put some example sites so we can start looking or playing,  
just let me know :)

Just my .02 here, but I'd be hesitant to make our new code 5.3+ only  
at this point...I'd prefer to wait until it has been released and is  
more proven, with at least one or two bug-fix releases under it's  
belt...plus, as you said, we've got a good number of 5.2 stuff that's  
running well.


Thanks,
mike
