Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Peter DiCamillo <>]

Brown's code is not available yet, although we do have permission now to 
distribute it. I'll be glad to answer questions to help you determine if 
it would be useful to you. Basically, it works by using a Grouper change 
log consumer, an ActiveMQ message queue, and a queue listener that 
updates Google. The change log consumer checks a group attribute to see 
if a changed group is enabled for Google, or if its enabled state 
changed. If so, the consumer puts messages on the queue to create or 
delete a Google group, or to add or remove members. The queue listener 
processes those messages, and contains the logic for updating Google.
