Or to put the material right here in the mailinglist:

assume that would be obvious to anyone installing this.)

"The LdapContrib package's topic (TWiki.LdapContrib and its attachments) was "
"not installed, as the default TWiki data files were not available in TWiki's "
"defaults path (under /var/lib/twiki/data/TWiki/)."
msgstr ""
(Is "installed" here being used in some sense that Twiki-admins will
understand, or is there a risk they'll be as confused as I am? It
needs at least to change "Twiki's defaults path" to something like
"the default Twiki path" or just "the standard location".)

(Are all these paragraphs part of the same note? Under what
circumstances would it be displayed, and what is the administrator
expected to do about it?)
Meanwhile in the package description:
Description: LDAP services for TWiki
.
This package offers basic LDAP services for TWiki and offers
authentication of TWiki users by binding to an LDAP server as well as
incorporate LDAP user groups into TWiki's access control.
.
Take a look at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/LdapContrib
for more info.

I'd suggest just using something like:
Description: LDAP services for TWiki
This package supports Twiki user authentication via an LDAP
server, as well as TWiki access control based on LDAP groups.
