Sounds reasonable, though I'd have to see the implementation....and  
that's a *lot* of images :)

So you see a new Agora block containing last comments on any user  
owned resource?  Sounds good...

Not sure without looking more, but is this possible while maintaining  
BC with all other Horde apps?

I think I know what you mean here, but I'm a little fuzzy on what you  
mean by "locking of tiles preference".  What preference are you  
referring to?


Thanks,
