+  <h4>GQ replacement using GTK and LDB</h4>
+  <p>GQ is a widely used LDAP query tool.  Unfortunetly, it has some
+  annoying habits (stealing the mouse when it crashes), and is
+  unmaintained.  Many LDAP administrators would benifit if a similar
+  tool were constructed, in particular with similar schema knowlege.
+  Using LDB as a backend could allow easy use of Samba-supported SASL
+  mechanisms for easier authentication.  Talk to
+  abartlet at samba.org</p>
+
+  <h4>GQ replacement in Samba4's SWAT</h4>
+  <p>Likewise to the above proposal, an LDB editor in SWAT would be
+  very useful.  Builting it with interactive (AJAX like) functionalty
+  would make it a very powerful way to manage Samba4's LDB databases.

+
+  <h4>Samba4 using a real LDAP backend server</h4>
+  <p>Currently, Samba4 can use either an in-memory database, or a LDAP
+  server as the backend for it's primary user database.  The LDAP
+  backend server alternative is currently very restricted: The only
+  supported server is a matching version of Samba4.  This project
+  would be to advance this support.  Initial steps would be to load
+  the provision, then permit password changes.  Eventual support would
+  include schema mapping. (Participants should discuss with
+  abartlet at samba.org, and work out how far would be reasonable to
+  support in the timeframe). </p>
+
+  <h4>User Manager for Samba4 SWAT</h4>
+  <p>Samba4 needs a user manger tool, built into the SWAT server.
+  This could be a new tool, or an existing tool ported to Samba4.  It
+  would benifit from being interactive without page load delays,
+  (possibly AJAX), and should at least allow modification of similar
+  properties to MMC</p>
