[Evolution] LDAP schema for max info/max cross app integration

[Daryl Manning <dwm wakatara com>]

Having a very heterogenous IT environment spread across several 
countries we are trying to define an ldap schema which will provide all 
the basic information about an individual or office one would normally 
expect (using rfc standard object classes).

At the same time, we need this eventual schema to be usable (and 
editable for people) via Evolution (which, I am happy to say will 
become our standard mail client), Outlook/Entourage, and the Mac 
Mail/AddressBook/iCal trio (though Evo on OSX will be a long term 
goal... I have 1.0.7 running on this laptop now... =}  Just noticed the 
message about 1.2.1 so will compile via fink tomorrow).

I'd be interested in what other people are using and discussing this if 
at all possible. The interoperability issue seems to be a big one for 
some things and I'd be interested in how it would be possible to have 
arbitrary fields included in the 'notes' sections of most address book 
applications without using non-rfc standard schemas (for us for things 
like people's competencies, start date, projects, spoken languages 
etc.). We are also interested in getting iCal working so.... =}

ciao !
Daryl.
