Tom -- what's the process for starting the v2.3 provisioning discussion 
? Are you collecting use cases ?

There seems to be a growing number of sites that are using AMQ (or a 
similar system) as part of their provisioning. Here at Brown we're 
wondering if there's now enough experience to begin a discussion about 
standardizing some of the messages, and including a few "standard" 
connectors with a Grouper distribution ? Currently, only sites with some 
available programming cycles can adopt this approach; standardization 
might make adoption easier for additional sites.

Yes, I know standardization is hard. But, perhaps we can find the common 
80% ?

Michael calls out "getting grouper messages to AMQ". I'd add that its 
just as important to think about msgs that get data into Grouper (real 
time updates from ERP systems).
