Announcing the ubuntu-directory team

[Ulrik Mikaelsson]

While AD compatibility is nice, let's all remember THAT is what's desirable.
AD _compatibility_, not AD itself.

Let's not use Microsoft as the role model (again).

But interesting to see this team forming. Easy and solid directory services
for Linux have been missing for WAY to long. (Let's face it, NIS + NFS just
doesn't cut it)

Regards
/ Ulrik
