We actually discussed this more on IRC, and after talking it over with  
Chuck, I've come to realise that keeping Shares is a must. While I'm  
sure we can all agree there would be performance benifits (at least  
with current Share code) to keeping shares out of Ansel, let me just  
paraphrase what was said - Shares is a pretty "core" concept to Horde  
and it's what will help differentiate Ansel from other similar apps.   
Keeping the shares allows Ansel to more tightly integrate with the  
other groupware apps, allowing setting permisssions per group, user  
etc....



Thanks,
mike
