Dmitry Sorokin (ra3vat) asked Jason Cater (jcater) how on-activation trigger differs from on-startup. Jason offered asking James Thompson (jamest) for specifications. He thought that on-startup runned when form was loaded; and on-activation is fired once each time a form (dialog) is called, on activation runs each time a form is displayed - it is convenient to clear the fields from the last time it was called.

Perry Lorier (IsoosI) asked can gnue use a ldap backend to access the Lighweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)? It was noted that Jan Ischebeck (siesel) had committed some code to CVS in gnue/common/src/datasources/drivers/ldap. Perry went off to code some gnue forms for ldap :) He asked how up to date is the version of gnue in sid? Andrew Mitchell (ajmitch), refering to the IRC topic, said that the old one in sid, new one on Jeff Bailey's (jbailey) section of the http://people.debian.org website. Perry said he would report back once he had got LDAP working.

Derek Neighbors (derek) asked how feasible is reports as of time of writing for say an address book? i know its capable of invoices etc that is fixed page - but basically by weeks end i need to print church directory with images :) He would LOVE to use gnue reports - /me might revisit the html xsl stuff - and go that route. Jason Cater (jcater) said it was probably doable. Derek said i assume if you cna do labels - you can do a directory - as its same concept wrt layout.
