user_ldap VS ocis

We haven't started to use the API & UI tests from the first day of development, but only after there has been a bare minimum of functionalities implemented in OCIS. To run the tests the first challenge was how to provision the system. The goal is to have feature parity, but of course OCIS did lack a lot of functionality at that stage of development, including APIs to create and delete users, set system relevant settings, etc. Additionally, to run tests in ownCloud X, we heavily rely on the command-line tool to bring the system into a testable state. There is no equivalent (yet) in OCIS. The solution to those challenges was to extend the test-code to do slightly different things on both systems. E.g. OCIS would get users from an LDAP server, in ownCloud X we would provision users and groups through the provisioning api. Luckily we had the LDAP code already in the test-suite from testing the ownCloud LDAP app.

I found a way to do this : just copying the data over WebDAV using rclone (https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/blob/b2323752289d31c4844f36ef71a2ba531bd749c2/docs/ocis/guides/migrate-data-rclone.md)

According to the README[1] on their source repository, that is, flatly, untrue.

They say:

> We are very happy that oCIS does not require a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) as it is Apache 2.0 licensed. We hope this will make it easier to contribute code. If you want to get in touch, most of the developers hang out in our rocket chat channel or reach out to the ownCloud central forum.

They also say:

> Some builds of stable ownCloud Infinite Scale releases provided by ownCloud GmbH are subject to an End User License Agreement.

Which seems both reasonable and sensible...

[1](https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/tree/master)

ownCloud recently released version 3 of ownCloud Infinite Scale (OCIS), which is completely rewritten in Go (which means it's fast) and uses micro-services instead of a PHP monolith. It doesn't have any features like mail/calendar/contacts/chat/etc.. yet, just file sync (but that's all I'm looking for).

This feature request (https://github.com/owncloud/ocis/issues/6558) aims to implement mind-mapping functionality in a free Open Source Software similar to Google Drive called ownCloud Inifite Scale (oCIS).
