Ubuntu-directory is not dead, merely sleeping.

In all seriousness, we do need people to help us with our goals. We
are about to start writing specs for the Feisty+1, which will include
finishing andrew mitchell's authtool and packaging of Fedora Directory
Server. The latter requires upstream to finish out their split of
backend with frontend, as well as the autotool-izing of the source.
