Cool, thanks!

No, very little of this is finalized yet. We do have the  
Horde_Autoloader library (which uses spl_autoload) for autoloading, so  
that is set. There's a framework package structure, like the one used  
for Argv and other new PHP 5 packages (Feed, Db, etc.). But most  
things are up for discussion and exploration. My personal set of big  
notes is here:

http://wiki.horde.org/ChucksHorde4Thoughts

and a list that's been accumulated by many developers is here:

http://wiki.horde.org/BCBreakingHordeIssues

I'm probably missing a few things but those are two starting points  
for overall Horde 4 ideas. Discussion either on wiki documents or on  
this list is quite appropriate.
