The group I work for uses the directory to maintain our mailing lists, so that portion (ou=Information Architecture Group) is complete and acurate. However, maintaining quipu is not part of my real job. At this point I am doing it because it is something that is important, even though only indirectly related to my work. Other level-2 DSAs have different objectives for what they have. My requirement before I connect them in to the DIT is that the data they have be correct, but not necessarily complete. One of the areas we are looking at is the proper access limitations to place on the data. Unfortunatly, quipu currently does not allow the full flexibility that we need. This will probably delay any attempts to fully utilize quipu throughout HP. -Norm
