OpenSAML user discussion

[Chad La Joie <>]

First let me outline our release branches:

- Technology Previews: releases whose API and code is unstable and buggy 
but is meant to garner developer feedback.

- Alpha: code is buggy but the APIs that are in place are relatively 
stable; most, but not all, functionality that will be in the final 
release is present

- Beta: functionally complete with stable APIs; meant for developers to 
help us bug smash

- Stable; stable APIs, all functionality, and hopefully very few bugs

This weekend I will probably make the first alpha available.  It is 
likely that this will include all of the APIs most people need.  What 
will be missing are some fairly deep security features, various SOAP 
support features, and lots of documentation.

The timeframe between Alpha and Stable will, I'm guessing, be a couple 
months (so late July, early August) unless we see more people testing 
than I currently expect.
