[horde] Re: Logging in as Admin

[John Peters]

I greatly appreciate the answer to this.  After looking at the link that
chuck provided, and your explanation its all clear.

I think my initial confusion (and others?) can be fixed by simply putting
"CVS HEAD only' next to the various projects that only work for CVS HEAD
frameworks in the "Projects" page.  Thats were it starts.  I downloaded
Horde, and then started downloading projects that I assumed worked with
Horde stable.   Even on the projects page (Jonah, for example,
http://www.horde.org/jonah/) it doesnt state anywhere that it only works
with CVS HEAD framework.

Yes, I realize that there is a [CVS] link next to their names, but my
particular installation is for a production environment, and I usually stay
away from CVS releases because of that.   I assumed that the CVS was simply
an option.

Regardless, the confusion is clear, and I'm having a lot of fun with Horde
so far.  Thanks again, and sorry for bringing up a question thats been
answered a million times.
