Hi guys,

I went to take a look at the code, I think I can develop the part I'm
missing (pulling First Name, Last Name and Email Address fields from the
LDAP/AD if the user provides the fields where to get these information in
the LDAP/AD).
Now this brings 2 questions :
- How probable is it that my modification could be accepted in the main
Ranger branch ?
- When is the next Ranger release scheduled for ?

To be clear, I really need that feature so if it isn't part of Ranger
usersync roadmap I will have to develop a minimalistic Ranger usersync
module that does it (and in my opinion it's a shame not making it available
to the community).
What's your opinion on this?
Thanks,
