Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Earl Lewis <>]

Chris, 

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I wouldn't want to take time away from your design team call, you probably have bigger fish to fry, but thanks for the offer. 

Thinking about this a bit more I think I'd like to pursue this down multiple paths if possible. First, I'd like to offer that we will document our discussions/findings to the best of our ability and share them on the wiki for everyone to use/critic/comment/etc however they see fit.

Second, I think a discussion here on the mailing list would be helpful to some so I'll go ahead and kick that off (separately) with a few thoughts and see where it goes. 

I would also like to see if we can setup a separate call(s) with folks from Penn State and U Chicago if that's possible. I realize that everyone here is volunteering their time and I want to respectful of that. I'll try to make contact off list and see if we can arrange something in the near future. 

Thanks again to everyone here for hearing me out and helping us through our growing pains. 

Sincerely,

Earl Lewis

The mailing list is fine, or we could setup a call if you like or use part of the grouper design call in 1.5 weeks on wed at noon… 

 

You could get a FAQ going on the wiki in the appropriate page(s) and people could give their advice (let us know on the mailing list where to go)

 

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Grouper design best practices

 

I've had a look at the both the wiki pages and training video related to creating folder/group structures for a Grouper installation. These are very helpful and instructive, so thank you for those. And although those are very helpful, they are mostly focused on what Grouper is capable of doing.  What I'm wondering about are the pros/cons of the various design choices that we might make. 

 

We're just getting started with Grouper so we're taking small steps getting ramped up with it. Is there any interest from this group in having a dialogue about pros/cons of grouper design choices? We don't really have enough experience to be able to contribute too much (yet) but we do have lots of questions. 

 

The logical follow-up to that question would be, if there is interest, do we just have that dialogue via this mail list, or is there another forum that's more appropriate (I don't want to overwhelm or distract everyone here if they're not interested in this particular conversation)?
