Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

The current plan is to introduce multi-valued attributes in 1.5 that you can 
attach to stems or groups, but Im not sure what you mean by replacing stems 
my multivalued attributes.  Are the attributes on the group?  Would you then 
put all groups in one stem?  What do the values of the attribute represent 
(namespace)?  Can you tell us what deficiency stems have that makes you want 
to get rid of them?  Any more info including examples could help the 
discussion.

Thanks,
Chris
