yes, does anyone know? i looked at the feature list in the readme and it seems to do pretty much the same as webmin-ldap-user-simple. it does it in a slighly different context, though: it is written in php and it is apache based. php is frequently frowned upon because of its crappy internal structure and development style. Apache is known to be good, but we use webmin. that said, if one could have agreed upon some other language then php (e.g. perl) both sides could have saved themselfs some efford. We will continue working on the user administration interface and are still looking for people to work together with. However with debian-edu moving towards cerebrum and kerberos, the air (aka the number of people interested in the same goals) is getting thinner.
