Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Tom Barton <>]

Arnaud,

I'm glad to hear that your hard work with grouper is starting to pay off!

Your approach to handling dynamic groups will resonate with many others, 
as will the integration with uPortal. Your contributions and help in 
these and other areas are very welcome. Let's discuss those on the 
grouper-dev list.

Looking through your slides also emphasized, to me, another point. Once 
the technology is implemented, the real work of designing a hierarchy 
and an administration model begins, and the real power of this approach 
starts to become evident.

Thanks,
Tom
