Nope, at least not in https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/committer/hyan which prefers An Hong Yun over Hongyun An. > > Over time, it may be desirable to present the value of this field in > the roster tool.

I think there’s not much left to do now, since the only exceptions to “found in iclas.txt” are the known ea and virtual folks. So what is left now is: 1. to prefer iclas.txt to ldap in all of the whimsy tooling; 2. to allow secretary role to change ldap entries 3. resolve how users can edit their full name/public name/ldap cn/getent passwd entry Craig > > - Sam Ruby > > P.S.
