Imagine that you run a mailman (http://www.list.org) mailing list called "2006-announce". Everyone on your faculty and staff should be able to post to this list; however, not everyone wants to subscribe to the list. All members of your faculty and staff are members of an LDAP group called "contactlist". Because your faculty and staff come and go, you want an automated method for making sure that current members of contactlist have permissions to send mails out to the announcement lists. You'd like to have something that you could run from cron that would make sure that people can post to the appropriate lists.

This is a set of sample implementations of the CALI Web API.  This archive includes PHP, Python, and Ruby reference code.  Please see the README files in each sub directory of more details if available.For general inmformation on the Web API, visit the FAQ.Elmer Masters 2005 CALI presentation on the subject is here.

We are using this to generate a faculty-staff facebook in PDF form.  Elmer adds:  The facebook is generated from a query to a Novell eDirectory LDAP server.   The last argument can be a URL holding a JPG file or it can be "nophoto.jpg".  Please try it with other LDAP servers and let us know what works.
