I guess you shgould have sent that question to lwat@lists.bzzware.org
instead, Bu I'm adding the the list to the reply.
It's a debian-edu thing, and maybe best explained in
http://bzz.no/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/lwat/doc/config.php.html
"Debian edu installations use something called lisGroup, that is a self
invented thing. This allow for both memberUid and member to be in the
same group object, If useLisGroup is set to false, the variable
AuthGroup is used instead to create a groupOfMembers."
I think there were a longer description there before, not sure were that
one disappeared to...

You are right. The reference to "the last part" was added by Winnie
(Patrick Winnertz) who is the actuall maintainer (i'm just
co-maintainer, and upstream).
I think it's better explained in the config.php documentation:
"The prefix under which the groups information is stored. Dont duplicate
the information in the variable $base"

well, as upstream, I'm not sure if you (I?) mean that lwat will require
0-9 digits in the password, or if it means the digits (character 0-9). I
know that it means the later, but please help to make it more clear.
Maye remove the (0-9) and just use digits or number or ?

Yes, please. BUt that is up to you.

True. Although the goal is to make the package usable for an average
teacher, I'm not sure if it's the goal to make it installable for one.
If the Average teacher should install this, it would be through
debian-edu, or some other project were most (all) of the questions are
preseeded, and therefor will not be displayed.
