[opencms-dev] WebUser and WebUser administration

[Marcus Redeker]

Alex,

thanks for the information. I will then just use my "quick hack" to get
us up and running and it seems that Michael Goodwin is trying to port
the administration part to jsp. So we can just use my hack for now and
when version 6.0 is coming the finished JSP user administration should
be able to handle web-user.

--Marcus


Ps: Michael Goodwin: Let me know if I can be of any help creating the
JSP user administration.
