I would use an ldap server if it was toolkit for dynamic resolution of
ldap queries.

I have ruby code to read the OS X AddressBook database, but there is no
way to share that info to other AddressBook users.

I could write an LDAP server that published address info from my address
book to the local network using LDAP, and others using AddessBook could
subscribe to it. Very handy. Probably work cross platform with many
different kind of apps. Why should you have to hire a sysadmin just to
share your address book? Drives me nuts, but there are lots of client
libraries for LDAP around... not so many servers.

If you do make a server, I don't know your plan, but maybe you can keep
use cases that involve serving dynamic data in mind - more like webrick
and less like slapd written in ruby.

Cheers,
Sam
