I can only relate my preference since I'm not in a position to say what happens 
with Horde.  What I would like to do is get some of the planned enhancements 
into DCL, and then see where it stands.

Another thought I'm having is keeping DCL the way it is, but writing abstract 
interfaces so it could be hooked into phpGroupWare and Horde (and ???) without 
modification.  This means I will have to create my own API for standalone, 
which really won't be a big deal.

Just some thoughts....  Do you have an idea of what _you_ would like to see?

As I said, it already is mostly stand-alone, so this isn't a problem.  
Everything in DCL (practically) is an object, so it's easy to rip the stuff out 
if need be.
