Hi Alkis,

I have tried Epoptes and really loved it. Excellent work!   Your planned 
development for sch-scripts is also very interesting and will sure 
benefit the community. I think with these user management tools ltsp 
will become even more popular with schools and other organizations that 
do not have advanced linux admin skills. I hope there will be more 
people interested to co-develop with you. looking forward

Regards,
Faisal
