About a year and a half ago, Jonathan Soong created a patch that allowed a
user with a local addressbook (i.e. localsql) to create lists/groups of
users from multiple sources, including LDAP directory servers.  This patch
was against Turba 1.2 and is referenced here:

http://lists.horde.org/archives/turba/Week-of-Mon-20030818/003059.html

The current way of creating a list assumes (or actually requires) that a
user's email address be stored as an entry in the local addressbook.  This
means needing to replicate data that already exists in a corporate directory
addressbook and is somewhat unintuitive for end-users.

I would like to know if its feasible that Jonathan's original patch could be
ported to the current release without too much difficulty.  If it could,
would this be a patch that would be feasible for including in Turba?  Or is
this a bad idea?  The last thing I tried was not viewed as a good idea and
before I invest any additional effort in possibly making this idea work, I'd
like to have it validated first.

Thanks,
Kevin
