We are continuing to update the in-progress docs on the community site, so you will continue to see improvements there as we advance toward the final OpenDJ 2.5.0 release.

ForgeRock welcomes Lana Frost

Welcome to Lana Frost who joined the ForgeRock documentation team Monday. Glad you decided to work for ForgeRock, Lana.

Lana has worked as Lead Writer at Sun Microsystems on the Directory Services team, and more recently at Oracle. While helping other writers meet their deadlines and keeping the projects on track, she also wrote a big share of the directory documentation herself. Furthermore, Lana was instrumental in setting up the rigorous documentation review process that first lifted the quality of the directory documentation, and was later adopted by other middleware documentation teams.

Lana will help with OpenDJ docs at ForgeRock. Her main focus however is the leadership role for identity documentation with the OpenIDM and OpenICF projects. Good news for the ForgeRock directory and identity communities!
