Shibboleth Developers

[William Norris <>]

I'm very new to the project and so don't know alot of the history of 
why things are done/named how they are, but I must confess that I was 
more than a little confused regarding package names when setting up a 
development server.  Perhaps it is already part of the planned naming 
transition (origin/target -> IdP/SP), but I didn't quite understand why 
the target is simply "shibboleth" while the origin is 
"shibboleth-origin".  If it's important to keep these as two separate 
packages, perhaps clearer names would be good?


Also, both the origin and target deployment guides use a default 
installation directory of `/opt/shibboleth`.  Are there any possible 
ramifications of installing these on top of each other like this?  
Perhaps recommend installation directories of `/opt/shibboleth-IdP` and 
`/opt/shibboleth-SP` or something similar?

...just some initial thoughts I've had while getting acquainted with 
the project
