Hi Pierre, Thanks for your welcome and feedback!

Some will pop up during the on-boarding process Yes I agree. I’m working on it as my higher priority. In fact if you’d like to check my latest commits in Haox project, it’s all about clearance. I’m reviewing every piece of the codes as Emmanuel required to make sure they’re all fine. I would not say it will take too long as most of the codes are written by myself, and it’s not hard for me to get that aspect resolved. >> Though I see benefits and hurdles that can be overcome, I would like to see >> more viewpoints.

Besides the obvious workload brought by the sub project, the directory server will also need to decouple from Kerberos aspect, as Kiran and Emmanuel discussed with me before.

Plus, though a bit delayed, all the seasons greetings to each and everyone. Having read the initial post and the reactions by the others, I can only concur - from the limited understanding I have regarding the technical aspects - that there seems to be a fit within this project. Yes, there is overlapping and complementing code between the Haox project and (several of) our sub projects. For sure, the overlap and the other issues mentioned are hurdles that can be overcome. And the complementing aspects within Hoax and our solutions will not only strengthen as well as simplifying the individual solutions. I also believe, given the expressions in the postings in this thread, that there is a cultural fit. Having said all that, there is a lot of work to be done after a consensus has been reached. Apart from the technical stuff, the most important is aspect addressing the legal risks that incorporating the Haox project brings. Some have already been identified earlier. Some will pop up during the on-boarding process. Though I see benefits and hurdles that can be overcome, I would like to see more viewpoints. Because I also see an increase in workload in the near future (when a positive outcome will establish itself). And this increase will put pressure on our short term plans and activities. We need to address that too.
