Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Tom Barton <>]

Hi Martin,

Good to hear from you again. I'm more than a little curious about the 
new project you're working on. Is there a link to further background 
info? Even in Dutch? :-)

The initial form of grouper's new attribute framework will indeed debut 
in v1.5, which we expect to release in the first half of November. 
Multivalued attributes are part of that. We don't plan to bundle any 
particular use of them in 1.5, so they'd merely be infrastructure 
available for you to use. Might that fit your needs?

Tom
