[Olivier Salaün - CRU <>]

We are starting a federation project for French universities and we 
consider the WAYF a major piece of the archiecture. The stronger needs 
for federation is not currently at a national level but at a regional 
level where half a dozen of universities want to share ressources. In 
these situations, the national WAYF is indeed not adapted at all because 
it lists too many sites. On the other hand these institutions don't 
really want to build a regional federation; they just need a regional 
WAYF or a local WAYF builtin with the SP.

Are there any such develpment plans for 1.3 or 2.0 ?
We will probably work on this soon and we'll let you know about any 
improvement we could provide.
