Description Olav Vitters 2008-05-23 12:55:32 UTC 
This as preparation for the move.

My thought is:
 * Every foundation member should have a LDAP account
 * After everyone has a LDAP account, the foundation specific fields should be moved over
 * To migrate the info, there should be a userid field in the foundation db

The last item is what this bug is about. After adding the field, some script should fill it for easily guessable users (email address match or name matches).

Then:
 * Membership committee should inform those who do not have LDAP to request one

That again requires the membership committee to be able to approve such LDAP account requests. Which currently isn't possible.

Field has been added and is available for editing :-)

It is currently empty for everyone.. Needs to be filled in for the accounts that can be easily determined.
