Hi Howard!

Another thing to keep in mind - unlike FedoraDS (and Sun DSEE), OpenLDAP
is fully RFC compliant, does full schema checking, and fully implements
the X.500 data model. It does all that and is still over 3 times faster.
It's not just about speed; correctness still comes first. With good
engineering you don't have to sacrifice correctness to get performance.
I just wanted to note that I 100% agree with your statement about how
important standard compliance is; especially in the area I work (EAI).
It therefore perfectly fits that correctness was one of the primary
goals ApacheDS 1.0 planned to achieve.
It is difficult to measure standard compliance. Passing the LDAP
certification of the Open Group
http://www.opengroup.org/certification/directory-home.html
was one idea we had to get feedback in this area.
ApacheDS 1.0 get certified by the Open Group in Oct. 2006, and we will
continue to release exclusively versions which fulfill their
requirements (knowing that the tests are not complete; and therefore
can't *prove* correctness).
