Grouper Developers Forum

These lists should not be considered authoritative or final.  Rather,
they are to get discussion started and see if we can't establish some
sort of consensus on what goes in when.

# Grouper 0.5.n

A mythical release (or three) between 0.5.1 and 0.6.  Items included
would be:

* Fixes for earlier 0.5.n releases
* Delayed or enhanced items from earlier 0.5.n releases
* Initial implementations of one or more items required to be in place
  by 0.6.  As some of the changes from 0.5.1 to 0.6 will be fairly
  significant, at least internally, I think it might be better to
  trickle out some of the changes as they are developed (and thus
  getting earlier real-world experience and bug testing done on
  them) rather than waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting until all
  of the 0.6 feature set is ready and then unleashing it all at once.

  hooks for calling privilege checks
* Enhanced search capabilities (Details?)
* Enhanced browse capabilities (Details?)
* Ability to rename groups
* Support for displayName and displayExtension
* Ability to remove members from grouper_member table
* Ability to rename subjectIDs
* Internal cleanup and refactoring (Significant, I hope) 
* Improved database support and usage
* Improved, expanded and more consistent logging policy
* Improved session handling 
* Improved testing
* New and updated contributed code

What am I forgetting?  And what did I put in the wrong place?
