Hey,

For those who missed the talk at the Internet2 Fall Member meeting yesterday, 
here is the pres that Shilen and I gave (including slides from Gary on the 
auditing UI).

https://spaces.internet2.edu/download/attachments/10060005/grouperWhatsNew.ppt

Note there are two privilege management demos, and one attribute framework 
demo.  For the privilege management demo movies, make sure you have the xvid 
codec.  If anyone (who isn't already in contact with me), can use Grouper 
privilege management or the attribute framework, especially in the next few 
months, let me know.

Martin, I have a bunch of slides and a demo on what I believe you are 
requesting in the attribute framework.  Can you look at it in the pres 
(attribute demo #1) and see if you think it will work for you.  The only open 
issue is the interface to make changes.  I don't think GSH will work 
(performance too slow, hard to parse output).  I think we will have a WS and 
grouperClient interface to attributes, but after 1.5.0.  If you can wait 
until 1.5.1, we can have it by then.  This should be usable from CVS in 
Dec/Jan, and released in Jan/Feb.  You could use this to read attributes as 
well, instead of SQL.  Let me know.

Thanks!
Chris
