Shibboleth Developers

Mike Lahaye from I2 is currently in Tempe (and will be there thru 
CAMP). When he returns at AA, I've asked him to being work on setting 
up a pair of linux boxes for our use.

The list we developed in Dec asked him to put cvs on those boxes (one 
question -- do we want the web interface, or do people use "regular" 
cvs clients?).

Another interesting question is whether we'd like to use bugzilla for 
problem/issue tracking? Or is there some other "product" we should 
also look at?

I think this is a great idea. We've been using bugzilla to manage the
SIP specification, and it has been a lifesaver. Having a centralized
place for it would allow consistent tracking of specification issues,
and a way for IESG/IAB to take a look at how and when decisions were
made when such information is needed.

I plan on writing an I-D on the process mechanisms we used for the SIP
spec (also includes extensive CVS usage), as there are some details
which require attention. We made some mistakes in bugzilla usage that
would be helpful to share.

Thanks,
Jonathan R.

Judging by the response, there appears to be interest
in making a Bugzilla server available for use by IETF WGs. 

So we're going to take the next step and start work on putting the
server online. 

If you're interested in using a bugzilla server, or in helping with the
project (by contributing time, bugzilla expertise, hardware, bandwidth,
etc.) please subscribe to the ietf-bugzilla mailing list set up by
IMC. You can do this by sending a message to 

 with the
body "subscribe ietf-bugzilla". 

Paul Hoffman of IMC has generously agreed to host the mailing list as well
as to contribute some seed hardware and bandwidth to the project. 

Thanks for the interest!
