Following up on a request made … last year? No 11 years ago 
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/165
At the end of the day I understand this is going to take people time to untangle duplicates; is it possible to set up a contract for this activity since it has (understandably) not attracted volunteers.

+1 for setting up a contract.
Any candidate to take it, from SAC ?

I think we had discussed a process of automating this whereby we freeze all accounts and if someone tries to login for first time
We first them to specify which LDAP account and password for that and then merge the history.
As I mentioned in prior tickets our LDAP is really old and needs to be redone so I would prefer that happens first
before we attempt this.
That said if no one has issues with extending my contract I'd be willing to take on:
Upgrading LDAP
Upgrading Wiki (not critical but would by nice)
Changing Wiki to use our LDAP.
Thanks,
Regina
That would be much appreciated; I know the board set this as a priority last year and was willing to provide budget for it. Please advise if we need any adjustment and I can put it on the agenda for Monday’s board meeting.

+1 from me (But I guess it may take an official MOTION thread?)
