As I anounced on #debian-edu yesterday, I opened a etch combi-tjener for testing and invited people to come in and see for themselve what lwat can do for us. (If someone doesn't noticed that he may ask me today on #debian-edu for opening the tjener once again to get a look) There where several testers 'on board' of the system as far as I noticed ;-) I hope that had helped some guys to better build there own mind than it can done with screenshots. Here I will tell now what my experiance was while testing. First it was a little bit confusing and I had to ask on channel to get information about how to log in, because I had no man page or info about. Patrik Winnertz was so kind to give me the informations needed to start, thanks. After I got into it, the first thing was to add a new user. No problem at all when I used the old* groupmembers from dropdown menue(there is a ldap.schema missing which is not ready for use now), but it took me 2-3 min. of waiting until the home of the user was created, which was irritating. A mass import function of users was not available and the creating of machine accounts was not filled with function yet. Every higher level administration functionalities such as getting pupils after a year at school into the next course or maintaining anything similar else is not available yet. A function for deleting my new created user is missing too what makes the tool useless at this moment at all. At this point I gave up testing this tool, because it lacks of essential functionality for lowest level of use. For use in school enviroment there have to be not only a lot more functions, there also have to be a well designed interface for pointing the admin to the essentials. And if lwat is scriptable I don't know. The autor should answer this please. Greetings, Jürgen Leibner
