Implement a commmand, with which I can query the mozilla.org server for information about a user. To be ultra-convient, the server should know the usual IRC nickname of Mozilla community members, so I can automate queries (add a command to my context menu, auto-query on channel entrance of people I don't know or so). mozilla.org's LDAP server will store a nickname, but it may not be identical to my IRC nickname, although it propably will be in most cases. Dunno, if we should create a new field "irc_nick".

Taking this bug. I'll be doing most of the LDAP-related tools work.

Are you also doing the server?

I'll be doing a bunch of the work on the architecture, at least. Once I get further along, you and I should probably sit down and figure out the best way to proceed with it. I'll let you know once I get to the point of thinking about schemas and namespace, etc. That's still a little ways off, as I'm worrying about some interface concerns first.

Ok. I was just wondering because this is one of the next few week's main projects on my list and how should we best make things work out. It seems that we won't get this integrated into Netscape's internal LDAP soon so we have freedom on choosing schemas and design ourselves. But let's get together sometimes to see what should be done.

Once the backend exists, feel free to reassign this to me with some pointers so that I can create the mozbot2 module to do this.

Reassigning, as I'm switching groups to work on browser integration of LDAP full-time.

New QA.

have to comment to add myself to the cc. sorry for the spam.

dawn: If you have no intention of ever implementing this, feel free to reassign it to me.

I plan to do this after Mach V ships, so reassigning to dmose@mozilla.org would also be ok. However, if you (Hixie) wanna start hacking on this sooner, go nuts!

No, no, I wouldn't want to take all the fun away... :-) Feel free to ask me any questions you might have about the mozbot API.

Assigning bugs that I'm not actively working on back to nobody; use SearchForThis as a search term if you want to delete all related bugmail at once.
