Kurt D. Zeilenga (Kurt@Boolean.Net) just recently announced on the LDAP list that his company is hosting a publically accessable repository for LDAP developement, via anoncvs. The repository is available now for testing only, and if you want access to the test server, he wants you to send him a short email describing yourself (programmer, manager, user, tester, etc.) and the platforms (hw vendor, OS, etc.) you can test. I've been considering doing something similar, but the server setup overhead and the lack of time to commit to a v3 implementation by myself has held me back. 8-(.
