Let me put it the other way round: There's a lot of things which *could* be implemented in OpenOffice.org (for instance, people constantly require an Outlook equivalent, a project management tool, and a lot of other applications, and the like). However, I don't think that attempting to implement each and every feature which would be "useful" is a good idea. Not as long as not each and every developer in the world works on OpenOffice.org. So, as long as we need to prioritize our work, I continue to think LDAP write access is not what belongs to a database application's core functionality. Which doesn't mean we would not accept your (or anybody else's) patch which implements this :) Ciao Frank -- - Frank Schönheit, Software Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - Sun Microsystems http://www.sun.com/staroffice - - OpenOffice.org Base http://dba.openoffice.org - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[dba-dev] Re: Connecting to an LDAP server
It is is not a matter of responsibility, but usability. The only mail reader I have found that writes to ldap is Evolution. The rest including Windows Address book just reads. But ldap is just a database back end like any other. And Base could serve great as front end. After all you need a way to get the data into the ldap server as well as out.

Writing to LDAP is an administrative task which I don't see in the responsibility of an office productivity suite.
