First, thanks for this great software, the best one I found to manage LDAP. This is my list of suggestions/compliants, I only want to give you ideas or get some help to workarround my errors ;)

Templates can be more powerful with some handful features, the big one being to allow putting arbitrary JavaScript/PHP code inside post/change tags. Some other useful features can be:

Fetch a single value from the directory (without selection list)
Multiple selection lists with absolute values (values given in the template, not inside the LDAP tree)
Do arbitrary arithmetic with values (via JS or PHP) not only in php.getNextNumber()

Modify templates aren't well documented, but some ideas:

If the templates specify objectClass(es) show/edit only attributes from that objectClass(es) and keep the value from the others
If the modification template only specify one attribute, edit only that attribute and keep the others with the same value. (Actually it shows all the MUST attributes)
Password verify action is a bit confusing, it opens a new window with new form. ¿Why not check via JavaScript the two input fields showed by the template?
When showing the list of available templates for editing the entry, filter them by the applicable objectClasses. (without the need to use tag)

Some Bugs (?)

How to compute some attributes in the background ? If I use hidden fields+AutoFill Javascript function, this fields doesn't get update. (I'm trying to ask for 'userPassword' and use it to autofill and submit sambaLMpassword and sambaNTpassword fields.
autonumber+pool Increments on each call to getNextNumber, will be better to get the number and increment it (in the pool LDAP tree) only after commmit the changes. For example I want to use the pool to generate posixAccount/uidNumber and sambaSamAccount/SID, If I use getNextNumber on the uidNumber I can't use it again compute the SID based on that number because I get two diferent ones. (This can be accomplished allowing to do arbitrary arithmetic on fields). Or worst: if I cancel the submit the number gets incremented too!
