The project is documented in the NameFLOW archive QUIPU was the major X.500 implementation used in Piloting a Research Directory in an OSI Environment. Implementations also came from Inria led by Christian Huitema and Siemens DirX, originating from the Thorn project, implementing the ECMA TR32 standard. David Goodman was the project manager.
