+
+ Data::Identifier - Builds/handles/manipulates identifiers for arbitrary Data.
+ Maybe implement Data::Transform::Builder to build a (ldap-)dn
+ from an object "X" containing properties "Y" (using Data::Identifier::Dn?).
+ What about Data::Transfer::Sync::Identifier or
+ Data::Transfer::Identifier or (most simple) Data::Identifier???
+ Yes! Data::Identifier is the "base class / root object", Data::Identifier::Dn acts as a plugin - mechanisms shown elsewhere. +
Data::Transform::Container::HierarchyOperation - Manipulate the Hierarchy of arbitrary Containers.
+ Data::Transform::Container::ItemOperation - Manipulate Items in arbitrary Containers. (move|copy)
+ maybe enhance to: duplicate|map|mungle-with-expression|serialize - whatever that means.... +
Data::Transform::Map - Have mappings stored in csv-files, perl-Modules, XML-Files or LDAP-Containers.
Torus - Migrate off Outlook

have all items stored in other applications conveniently.
be able to have items or references to them *archived* centrally
+ be able to access informations via *one* interface.
+ - actually *multiple* interfaces should be possible

+
+daemons:
+  - Apache
+  - Sendmail
+  - OpenSSH
+  - MySQL
+  - OpenLDAP
+
+

+ + +

+ Mottos: +
- Free people from writing html and sql
- + Build solutions that integrate Linux with MS as a desktop platform + and write some tools that get you the last bits needed for integration on the Linux side. (hey sysadmins!) +
- Write these tools using free and open source software
+
+ What's all that stuff about - really? Making in-process queries to an OpenLDAP daemon (slapd) or other daemons (inn, etc.). +
- + implement features: +
  - Have complex routing information stored in some LDAP-containers
  +
- + look at "Lightweight Trigger Access Process" (LTAP) + see http://ltap.bell-labs.com/
  + [...]
  + LDAP directories are passive repositories that do not provide active monitoring and alerting facilities,
  + i.e., triggers. LTAP adds active facilities in a portable manner to LDAP servers.
  + Active facilities are necessary for LDAP servers to monitor accesses to directories and then take appropriate actions.
  + Such functionality is crucial for making Directory Enabled Networks (DENs) real.
  + [...]
  +
- + not possible ;-( with dispatchmail: + when run via smrsh it looks like we can not connect to inn via CPAN's Net::NNTP. + => ex-process! +
