No, it's highly specialized for schools. But I propose to work in a

Nothing in that direction has been done yet, as far as I know ...

Unfortunatelly, I fear there is no roadmap at all :(

No. However, the design of the LDAP tree is flexible, so pupils
associated with classes can have their own department (ou) in LDAP.

I don't know of any.

Same here, I don't know of any.
Thomas, let's meet in Banja Luka for a chat. I'll arrive some time on
