Okay, COOL.... it really is an incredibly great idea. Beautifuly put and
thought. I love it.

Anyhow, since youre so ldap saavy, another place where we are needing
help is in the addressbook. 

Ralph Becker, Dave Hall, Lars Knechke (wi can never get the name right),
Jarg, me.... we want the addressbook to be a cool base for a CRM. This
means to have a good addressbook with organizational separation, where
sets of contacts can belong to a particular organization. Also, user
accounts should be identified by an entry in the addressbook (as is in
all groupware implementations i know about), and this all should work in
both Database and LDAP backends.... i think weve pretty much agreed what
the database backend will look like, now we need to determine whats the
best way to do this with LDAP.... pitch in if youre interested.

I love the tree idea, it will take some work with the category
implementation we have i think, since the subcategories are not really
that well supported on all the front ends (say, the addressbook)....

NeHow, cool to see youre work.
