address info / ldap question

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I am the happy maintainer of an address list for the parents in my
daughter's class. For three or four years this has been a task passed on
and on, with each making a new list, and the lists being all different and
in various stated of correctness. We all, after all, have day jobs. We
will also be 'together' for three more years.

I thought, why not get it in one place that we can all access? So, I have
been thinking of OpenLDAP.

One guiding factor is that everyone uses a different e-mail program. There
are at least 6 on four different platforms. Everyone is re-typing and
re-typing. We are looking at OpenLook/Express, Eudora, Netscape, Mozilla,
Kmail, Sylpheed, run on Windows, Mac (OS-9 and X), and Linux.

OpenLDAP seemed a better way to enter the info once and use it everywhere.
Or, is it everywhere?

Any opinions about this? Better ideas? Suggestions for tools?
