I agree that the openldap FAQs are adequate, I would even go so far as to say they are rather simplified, but I think where the idea of them being "too technical" is shown best from this comparison;
1. "Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an open-standard protocol for accessing X.500 directory services." 2. "here's an LDAP search translated into plain English: "Search for all people located in Chicago whose name contains "Fred" that have an email address. Please return their full name, email, title, and description." " The first one is brief and to the point, but what is an X.500 directory service? This by itself requires a bit of further reading. The second one explains what it does without the need for seeking further sources. Personally I'm fairly happy with the explanations as they are, they wouldn't hurt from a bit more information mind you. What if we could do both, present a couple of sentences in brief about what the package does and then put a 'more..' link after it that leads to a page of a more detailed nature, perhaps the wiki would suit the purpose nicely. I'm perfectly happy with highly technical documentation and a search engine, so you won't hear any complaints from me. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
