Here are just my 2 cents: I do not believe that it is a good idea to invent the wheel (lwat) new in a way we already had. >> The most important was not the feature set, but the simplicity of the >> GUI, thought.

For me that is a kind of wasted time, because I cannot see any need for our project this time in such an application. What I see is and please correct me if I'm wrong, that there has been done a lot of work by Andreas to get gosa in place for usage. Why not helping him to get a working solution. Or in your special case, why not make cipux alternativly usable like gosa for our project, to have a choise while installing, which of them one want to use. > Technically, I will most likely code this in Perl as that is what I am > capable of and find trustworthy.
