OpenSAML user discussion

["Tim Ransom (DSLWN)" <>]

Thanks Chad,

We will need to make a decision in the next day or so on how to
progress, but at this stage I am leaning towards using OpenSAML 2.0.

Thanks for your help.

Not as often on this as with the Shibboleth, thankfully.  This has code
has the benefit of being to low in the stack for most people to... 
discuss.  ;)

and so are going to look very carefully at using the opensaml 2.0
framework from the start, rather than starting with opensaml 1.1 and
then moving to 2.0 later. We will need to make a team decision about
this in the next day or so.

Yeah, definitely don't start with OpenSAML 1.1.  There is nothing in
common with the design of that library and the 2.0 library.

> Will the alpha release be publicly available or only for certain
people? How can we get involved in testing this release? We are very
interested in contributing to the project and would like to know more
about how to get involved. I am sorry if I am asking questions that are
answered on the Wiki, but the Wiki appears to be down at the moment.

It'll be publicly available.  Best ways to get involved:

- Write unit tests and submit them via Jira, our bug/issue tracking site
- Help fix bugs people submit and submit patches via Jira
- Help write/correct documentation

free to email me off list if you prefer.

Oh no, I wanna use peer-pressure where I can to get people to help test.
