Re: [Evolution] LDAP schema

[Daryl Manning <dwm wakatara com>]

Actually, we are looking to try and implement a cross-organizational
LDAP schema for address books that includes support for a very
heterogenous network.

Basically, we need a schema which will work with Evolution,
Mozilla/Netscape, Lotus, Outlook/OE *and* Pegasus Mail (an NGO
actually). Obviously not everything is going to get in there, but does
anyone have any ideas on where to start. Designing an ldap schema is
hard to being with, so I'd appreciate *anyone's* advice on the matter.
Or even pointers on schema designs to look at or get ideas from.

ciao!
Daryl.
