[horde] Upgrade to Horde4, or stay with 3?

[Simon Wilson]

Hi all... I have been watching with interest the posts from people  
upgrading to H4 and am keen to do so, with some good functionality and  
improvements that will make several things easier for my family setup...

BUT there are a couple of things that I am hesitant about.

I have a full function H3 setup, with just about every app installed  
and in use. We use LDAP backend with LDAP Turba address books, Trean  
bookmarks, Kronolith, Nag, Ingo, Forums, even Ansel for family pics. I  
use Whups for logging issues, and Wicked for comments in Ansel... I  
use Passwd connected back into LDAP to enable single point password  
management of my Unix backend.

I use LDAP Groups to manage security to limit access to applications -  
I have some users who only have photo gallery access for example, and  
who I don't want to have access to the email system.

Whilst I like the look of the new H4 suite, I am also conscious that  
the current setup a) works; and b) does most of what I need. But the  
ability to sync contacts to the family's iPhones would be a godsend!

So I am after some advice - am I going to just break everything if I  
try and upgrade? Will Passwd still work? Or am I going to need to  
spend weeks redoing everything? Will the old H3 vintage apps not work  
at all? How will I manage Groups / Users security?

If anyone can provide some advice that would be appreciated. Am I  
better off setting up a new parallel install, or upgrading the old one?

Thanks
Simon.
