I didn't compare tools. I told what I had done and gave my point of view. My intention was and is to give positive critic as good as I can, to enable the developers to get closer to the users needs. As you all know, debian-edu is very close to the users needs because of it's concept and not at least of engagement of its developers. It has only lost a tool for administration. This should be seen as a chance, not as a tragedy. > > If you compare lwat to wlus and regard its youth, it gives some hope for > the future.

So today there is no chance to test. That I'm working for bringing up cipux to a testable state does not hold me back to have a look at lwat and give others a chance to see it alive and test it to get their own impression. My hope is, that there will be an admintool in debian-edu that can fullfill teachers and admins wishes in every way. Therefor I will work and give my best as good I can. Greetings, Jürgen
