Hi Frank, You are right of course. The question is which effort will turn the most users over to OO, and ldap probably isn't it.
If I really were that brilliant I would be happy to create the ldap driver. But I'm afraid only the simplest of patches should be left in my hands. In the mean while, any chance of Evolution getting absorbed into the OO project? That would help many to scrap MSOffice completely on the W32 platform. :-) Ferry Op zaterdag 22-11-2008 om 14:14 uur [tijdzone +0100], schreef Frank Schönheit - Sun Microsystems Germany: > Hi Ferry, > > > It is is not a matter of responsibility, but usability. > > ... > > And Base could serve great as front end.
