Who is 'we'? 

I am blatantly not included in this. I would work hard, but I miss 
info. Info I've asked for on this list, and yes, Martin, you were 
asked, too. If your performance in reacting to questions were just 
only as good as you do obviously start feeling pissed, people were 
able to work hard.

There are some things I miss in that documentation. First, I miss the 
AnonFTP-SFTP-Gateway that was mentioned here -- days before 1.0.1 was 
published. Second, I miss exact info about your ideas concerning to 
virtual domain setup and LDAP schemata.

Now that is really, really great. Possibly you should tell about that 
solution instead of giving the useless info that you have such a one. 
Where is it? I just can't hear you. Where is the doc? Oh, there is 
none? Then, someone should start to write some NOW. If there is no 
exactly defined server solution, people working on different things 
develop into different directions.

You didn't get what Andreas meant. I can show you working code -- 
Andreas' Perl code works well, I reimplemented it oo-style with an 
extension interface working and Text::Template. The modular extension 
mechanism will be done on Thursday, I think - if i find the time for 
it, that is. But now I am stuck at a point where I need an LDAP 
schema.

Would you rely on that, at this time? Look, before you concentrate on 
the client applications, there first has to be a server being able to 
manage the major tasks with a common config server developers can 
rely and base their development on. 

Kind regards,
