Grouper Developers Forum

["GW Brown, Information Systems and Computing" <>]

It is clear that there is demand for a Web Services interface to Grouper, 
but less clear what form it should take. The conference call this week will 
focus on Web Services. With that in mind we would like to canvas opinion / 
experience as to the approach the Grouper project should take. So, if you 
use web services or plan to use them, please answer the following questions 
and join the call on Wednesday:

1. what forms of "web services interface" ought to be in the core product 
in, say, the next 1 year?

2. should SOAP be supported by the first WS-capable release (which *might* 
also have additional capabilities)?

3. what tools are most commonly used on campuses to create WS instances and 
their clients?

4. what grouper-WS authentication and access control requirements do 
campuses have?
