I mean a standard email account, like the kind in any Internet forum,
but the user can also manipulate the an LDAP tree using the same
credentials. 

I did a lot of research over the weekend including looking at the
slides of the LDAP conferences over the last couple years for clues.

The only already done thing that may do what I want seems to be the
proprietary version of LAM https://www.ldap-account-manager.org/lamcms/
.

I think I may be better off writing a plugin to web2ldap and or
mediawiki so I can be sure it does what I want because I can test and
fix it without asking for permission.
