Hi,

Some time ago i started writing the LDAP Implementation HOWTO. Another
person, Giuseppe Lo Biondo, has contributed some writings to this doc,
and he put his name at the top, stating him as author too. This has been
about six months ago. Actually, i haven't been able to contact him since
then, but i did meet him at the OSDEM in Brussels this year. SO he is
alive, he's just not reading his mail i guess.

The question i have:
How should i state that i am the one responsible for updates and the
like. Should i put this in the text somewhere for people to read, or
should it be part of the articleinfo somehow? i could, of course, just
take his name out of the articleinfo and credit him in the text, but he
did write a part of it, so that might be unfair.

Ideas?

Regards,

rolek
