Shibboleth Developers

[Chad La Joie <>]

We are in the process of bring up the new infrastructure for the 
Shibboleth project.  The new services will live at shibboleth.net and 
will include the main website, SVN repository, Nexus maven repository, 
Confluence Wiki, Jira issue tracking, and eventually TestShib.

Most of this stuff is already installed and configured but not 
necessarily publicly visible or up all the time.  However I'd like to 
get some initial feedback from people.  Following are a list of 
questions, related to wiki.shibboleth.net, that I'd like to ask people 
to answer.  It should only take about 10 minutes.

- Does the initial page load seem to load faster for you than the 
current Shibboleth wiki?  I'm just looking for a subjective feel and a 
yes/no answer.

- Do subsequent page loads seem faster?  Again, just a subjective feel.

- The documentation now uses a layout that puts a hierarchical page nav 
bar on the left side of the screen.  See here[1] for an example.  Do you 
like this?

- The search box should now search only within the particular wiki that 
you're within (instead of the whole server).  Please do a search and on 
the results page ensure the "Where" drop down, on the right side of the 
screen, is the wiki from which you did the search.  If not, please 
identify which wiki, browser, version, and OS you're on.

- If you would be interested in hosting a mirror of either the 
Shibboleth downloads site or subversion repository please let me know. 
I expect such mirrors to be open to the public.

And some other notes about the infrastructure:
- We also have a Shibbolized Jira.

- The discovery service is currently being skinned so it's likely to be 
down.  Therefore, if you click on the wiki log in link you'll probably 
end up at an unresponsive server.

- If the discovery service happens to be up, or you know how to form 
proper SP session initiation URLs, you still probably won't be able to 
log in since the wiki is not yet registered in various federations. 
We're doing that now but it's the holiday season so it may take a week 
or two.

And if you have any other feedback, feel free to send it.
