I've added /app to the wiki page on filesystem layout.

I've noticed view partials (chora) and Horde_Controller (nag) being
used in develop but didn't find out yet how/where they are used. I'd
try converting sesha to this pattern if it is confirmed to be ready
for primetime.

Is Horde_View_Helper_Form ready to replace Horde_Form or is this
experimental/unfinished?
