Hi Pierre-Arnaud, As you have mentioned, I have setup the development environment and currently going through code while reading about the technologies. I created a new project at link [1] in Google Code for LDAP Diagnostic Tool with appropriate commit rights. I guess it is ok to ask questions I got about the early proxy GUI prototypes like [2] here in the ML and in IRC as a start. Eagerly looking forward to get started with next steps of development.
