Noah,

Likewise, the grouper distribution includes a sample progam called 
"csv2subject" in the contrib area to enable loading of subjects within 
the group registry for testing, pending your implementation of a back 
end to the subject API that uses your ldap directory or whatever to 
identify and resolve subjects, especially 'person' subjectTypes.
