Chris,

That's great. Should this go into the contrib area of the wiki?

I know that GaTech, USC, and probably others are thinking deeply about 
how they might go about loading groups. I'm curious about their reaction 
to this design.

What happens to static memberships or composites for groups with 
grouperLoader type? How many of these are likely to be supportable at 
one time? How many does Penn plan to have? Is there any parametrization 
possible, ie, the idea that one select statement might produce the 
memberships of a bunch of groups, with some columns indicating which 
group and others the Subjects that belong to the group? Does each query 
update or replace the membership? Can the scheme be adapted for sites 
that have message-based integration available, ie, incremental changes 
are pushed into grouper, rather than pulling entire memberships into it?

And many more questions...

Tom
