WFM. Your call. Based on your description, I don't think I need to update anything in order to support this. Names present in icla.txt will take precedence over LDAP in the current code. Over time, it may be desirable to present the value of this field in the roster tool. Perhaps along with a hypertext link to the ICLA itself -- this link would only be shown to if the visitor to the site is an ASF member. - Sam Ruby P.S. I've updated public_names to add a table of ids that are LDAP only: https://whimsy.apache.org/officers/public_names#missing > Craig >> >> Can't you just use the info from LDAP in those cases where there is no ICLA? >> >> > > Craig L Russell > Architect, Oracle > http://db.apache.org/jdo > 408 276-5638 mailto:[email protected] > P.S.
