I'm glad you like the new interface.  I'm cleaning up the interface 
some more--
  I'm making a common Horde_UI_Table:: class to render tables like the search
results.  It will have an export icon in the header, and there will be some
standard Horde code for exports of these, including choosing which fields,
whether to show headers, what to sort and group by.  Perhaps eventually saving
export profiles.  Well, that may a bit ambitious; my immediate goal is to get
Horde_UI_Table:: working with the export icon.

Have you looked at thor?  It is a Horde application in it's early stages (but
still useful).  One of it's goals is to fill the Microsoft Project space.  We
plan to use it here, and one of my task-list items is to allow selection of a
thor project to bill to if thor is configured.

I'm not sure how different currencies would work, since I don't deal with
different ones much, but I'd be happy to see hermes support them.

Look at hermes/doc/TODO for more ideas of what I have planned.  I don't have
access to it right now, but I think I put everything from our internal
software roadmap in there.
