As soon as GNOME2 is released I intend to update my "Data Access with 
Linux" (ftp://kalamazoolinux.org/pub/pdf/dbaccess.pdf) presentation to the 
latest GNOME-DB/GDA/GASL/EGNIMA release.  Mostly that is end-user oriented 
documentation (how to install, create a data source, use the tools, 
etc...) and not so much API or developer documentation.

I'd jump on it now but I use my GNOME desktop about 10 hours a day and I 
really *need* GNOME to "just work" (which at 1.4.x it does).

On another topic, is anyone working on the LDAP provider?

Also curious if anyone has given any thought to adding GDA support to Open 
Office (it already support ODBC and JDBC)?

I mentioned once a while back about creating an XML-RPC binding to GDA, 
and I still intend to look into that.  But I figured I'd wait until GNOME2 
and all had settled down as it looks like GNOME2 has some SOAP/XML-RPC 
stuff 'built in'.
