Mark Thanks for the quick reply. Basically, I think that the users will be using it quite frequently - well, that's my clients idea of how it will work! In terms of hit level, we really don't know at this stage. In terms of hardware, they have a good budget and we would be looking to work with someone like rackpsace to cover all the hardware issues.
Regarding your last comment, we aren't looking necessarily for a single appp to cover everything, but this is why Horde was looked at first. However, we will probably have to do some fairly heavy tweeking with whatever we go with so that everything matches together (as there are a few other PHP apps that need to be built and integrated into the whole). One aspect is that they want to skin the whole site so that it can be altered. On top of that is a crazy deadline too, just to make things real fun! Any comments, laughter, suggestions - all appreciated Ade > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 03 June 2003 11:27 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [PHP] heavy traffic portal site > > > I see you posted this to the Horde list, so you're aware of that > project.
