What type of reviewer are you looking for. I will explain. I am a research analyst with a
technology company (my areas of expertise are in technology (hardware and software
generalist, (was a hardware designer for 10 years, and software developer/ programmer for
about 20 yrs) and currently a specialist in Business Applications. I do a substantial
amount of technical writing in many areas. I have used samba, but not recently, and I have
been a linux biggot since 2004. I can write good English, and can make complex ideas
easily understandable.
Therefore, I can review and edit for you the Samba team. --In English and some French.
Cheers
Leslie

Normally, I wouldn't bother, but I think this is important
because,
1. M$ Exchange servers have between 30 and 60 percent of e-mail server
market share, depending on your search parameters.
[really not trolling here, so don't bother. there are other more
important factors to consider.]
2. Time has shown that FOSS e-mail *servers* won't push out M$ from
whatever enterprise it's currently entrenched.
3. Because of that, there is more of a need to focus on the e-mail
client, but current functionality on the open source desktop, with
respect to Exchange servers, is inadequate, and downright buggy.
4. Openchange has the potential to be the bridge - capture the users
first, then migration to backend solutions is more feasible.
Bug 453083 - (Samba4) Review Request: Samba4 - Samba4 CIFS and AD
server and client
Bug 453395 - (libmapi) Review Request: libmapi - OpenChange:
Microsoft Exchange access with native protocols
Thanks,

What timing. I was just going to fire up yumex and see if there was a Samba 4 package in
the testing repository.
I am looking at getting my F10 to access some AD drives at work.
I read the bug reports and I am interested in the Samba 4 part. I do have one question.
Will the Openchange allow Thunderbird to access Exchange servers? If so, I will have to
think about trying Openchange sooner than later. We do not have pop3 or imap access.
