ApacheDS documentation
Hi,
You said you'd welcome feedback....
It would be really handy, for people like me with a slow Internet connection, or who occasionally break it :-(, to have the ApacheDS documentation available as a PDF to download. I realise the product and the docs change all the time but there are presumably break points at which the product and docs can be regarded as reasonably in correspondence with each other...?
Regards,
Damon Goodyear
PS Really looking forward to find out about ADS and whether it is suited to my project.

More seriously, just feel free to post either at the top, or the bottom,
as soon as there is enough context information for all of us to
understand what it's all about. I'm not a top or bottom zealot :)

I wouldn't. (The idea doesn't do much for me either.)

No way we will port Studio to Netbeans, sorry :) NetBeans is now Oracl€
property, we are not going to be good friends with those guys ...
Don't even *think* about asking about a .Net port ;)

Who cares if it's top/bottom/in the middle/ out of the windows posting ?

My last comment (about finding out whether ADS was suitable) was more about
the fact that I am a complete newbie to directory services. I have a sneaky
feeling that ADS (directory services) will be useful in being able to store,
lookup and use squillions of diddy java objects - stored and looked-up in a
manner similar to a registry. This feels instinctively faster than storing
them in a RDBMS.
(And having used Eclipse (and liked it) I have recently started using
Netbeans - cos the JavaEE tutorials use Netbeans. So it would be useful to
integrate to Netbeans.)
PS Sorry but getting upset about top-posting/bottom-posting is decidedly
anally retentive :-)

We started to migrated the doc generation to use DocBook, instead of the
wiki. The idea is to have a XML based codumentation, then to generate
teh web site *and* a pdf from it. Thus even if the documentation change,
the pdf will remain up to date !
The effort has started 2 weeks ago.Damon Goodyear

If you tell us a bit more about your project, we may drive you through ADS.
Thanks !
