this is what i spend most of my week with: I learned it would be
best to fork the feidegvs command set and that i would need to
create a new Constants.py file, describing our setup in detail.
(this might be ok for debian-edu is not optimal for a generic
debian package.) Creating a proper Constants.py file in turn
requires a good understanding of cerebrum. furthermore i
researched some java issues of jbofh.

During the time i waited for input on the above, i worked a bit
on the wlus test infrastructure and the afs problems (which got
solved by hartmans mostly).

furthermore i spend some time to get funding for kerberos
bindings for python (now i look for a coder wanting to do the
job) and debconf5 organizing.

next week (2) i will 
- create and estimate of how much time i spend on cerebrum
  allready
- create a Constants.py file for cerebrum
- work on the jbofh_cmds.py for cerebrum
- fill time gaps with work on the wlus testing framework
- debconf5 sponsorship
