Local Packages
I've spent a couple of days working on a company-wide addressbook using LDAP. The various mail clients in use can't agree on the LDAP attributes to use for snail-mail addresses, so I wanted to use something cross-platform that people could use to maintain and use contacts in a useful way.
The best candidate appeared to be ConTagged, which is a PHP web application supporting a company-wide addressbook and also a private addressbook for each user. Unfortunately it's taken a fair bit of hacking to make it work with PHP5 and LDAP-over-SSL, but I'm there now. I'm going to use it at home too, obviously!
