Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Scott Koranda <>]

Hi,

I know August is a crummy time to ask leading questions since many
people are out on vacation/holiday, but if anybody is provisioning
from Grouper to Google and has thought about what to do for "delete" I
would be grateful if you could drop me a note.

Cheers,

Scott
