  11  The Horde Project is a group of developers who write Web applications using
  12  the Horde Application Framework, itself a product of the Project.
  13  
  14  The Horde Application Framework is written in PHP, and provides the common
  15  tools a Web application requires: classes for dealing with preferences,
  16  compression, browser detection, connection tracking, MIME, and more.
  17  
  18  The Horde Framework, by itself, does not provide any significant end user
  19  functionality; it provides a base for other applications and tools for
  20  developers. You will probably want to install some of the available Horde
  21  applications, such as IMP (a webmail client), or Kronolith (a calendar). There
  22  is a list of Horde applications and projects at
  23  http://www.horde.org/projects.php.
  24  
  25  This software is OSI Certified Open Source Software.  OSI Certified is a
  26  certification mark of the `Open Source Initiative`_.
