[Kolab-devel] Kolab and Global Distribution Lists

[BJ Blanchard]

I got the impression from Maz's response that the LDAP dist lists use the full 
DN already (as opposed to the UID ) - but really as long as a "unique" 
pointer exists, there doesn't seem to be further work required on the Kolab 
side.  So - not quite sure what type of development you are refering to 
below.

What seems lacking is support on the Kontact side for managing LDAP 
distribution lists within the "Distribution List Editor".  I've posted to 
kdepim developers list regarding this.

Thanks for the info.

BJ.
