I had not said that I am going stand by the sidelines and then benefit
when others get it done. Im getting and and working on the code.

Again, Im ready to forge ahead and beat down any rocks and boulders that
try and get in my way.

Not really... I only see talk. At least so far...

XML-RPC doesnt exclude LDAP in any way. LDAP is a data repository. So
you just build a module to use LDAP and another to use a sql server.
Leave it up to teh admin to make the choice. This is what I already do
with phpGroupWare.

You missed the point completely.
The point is that I am going to try and build a XML-RPC protocol that is
platform and language independant. It is NOT going to be phpGW specific.
Granted phpGW will be the test bed, and as such I doubt some of what we
do in phpGW will not bleed into the standard I put together. But the
intention is to allow anyone else to build a backend in whatever fashion
(perl, zope, C, etc...) and just use our documented design.

XML-RPC is what I would use. Now XML-RPC has been getting SOAP support
built into it, since the two are almost identical systems. Now if
developers dont want to use a decent protocol just because it comes from
Redmond, then I would think them foolish and wouldnt need their help
anyways.

I am an XML-RPC fan, and SOAP can be easily supported as well, and this
would open us up to the world that M$ is moving to SOAP/.NET. Why
wouldnt we want to provide a means to take those people from MS$ .NET to
an open source solution?
