Thanks Gavin for your answer. I appreciate this. Yes, sounds like a good plan. The Admin Guide is a excelent start to the wiki. On next months, if a have a good howto´s to the wiki, where I can install wiki and leave the howto´s? There´s a possibility to have private wiki with contributors at openldap.org? Something like http://wiki.openldap.org?
I´m in the end of howto about schema anatomy. And finally, how I can help you Gavin with Admin Guide? Cheers.
