So unlike what many people think, Novell *could* be heavily into the Peer to Peer space with a real business application and solution. And on top of that, the directory *could* replace the proprietary solutions being developed and deployed by the people claiming to have "peer to peer" solutions.

Hi Scot,

If you mention my name to Ed Shropshire or Alan Clark, you will find that I have about the same view on where Novell could take eDirectory, plus a few issues about its current plans. Novell has to be bolder than just providing the best LDAP directory and as it moves forwards the best SLP service. Novell must provide additional tools/solutions that tie developers to its platform. A good example of this is the proposed LDAP extension API. Also Novell must have a much broader view of its client base, when deciding on projects. Novell was porting a full publish and subscribe engine which would have intergrated with eDirectory, but this was put on hold last year. At
BrainShare a good few Novell staff commented that there was not enougth market need for such a solution!!!! As I
come from the finanical markets such a comment stunned me, as all market information is handled by p&s.
