It was also implemented to manage postfix/cyrus mail accounts, but since we are gone use Zimbra now, I'm gone change it, so that it can manage zimbra accounts.
I think it will be ready in about one month, depending how long the user migration from Lotus notes to zimbra will take. (It will not be as fancy like the zimbra UI, but it will do the job).

I'll post the url when it's ready.

cheers,

There are API hooks in the Admin UI that allow adding custom modules to the the Admin UI. It is somewhat similar to Zimlet framework, but it allows changing almost anything in the UI. Unfortunately, this API is not documented yet. The bottom line is that if you can make your PHP scripts talk XML or javascript, it will be very easy to add this kind of module to Zimbra's admin UI. The module will call your PHP scripts before, after or instead of Zimbra's servlets. I can explain how to extend the admin UI and help with implementation if you are interested.
