[horde] backend for motd.php

Zitat von Brian Dube <brian.dube at gotgoat.com>:

Jonah now has an interface to create news channels. You could use it to
maintain MOTDs for your site. I don't know if it exists yet, but it
shouldn't be to hard to create an API method to get a single new channel
extracted and displayed on the login page.
