Preliminary Agenda Items (not in any particular order (yet))

Development Processes & Stds

• Component Owner responsibilities [Paul]
  • maintain automatic (nightly) builds
  • maintain all columns in your "row" here: Components (javadoc, psfs, etc)
  • maintain "to-do" list for each component
• Moving all Higgins interfaces/APIs back to JVM 1.4 [Tony]

Milestone 0.7 Progress/Review [Paul]

• Step through each component and get an update (even if the update is "stuck in IPzilla process")

HBX: I-Card/Identity Selector [Abhi]

• Additional local folks may join us for this segment
• Demo ????
• Discussion of threat model to running the card selector in the browser itself

ISS Client UI

• Bootstrapping option [Dale]

• Potential for collaboration with Ian Brown (developer of the Safari selector) [Paul]

OpenID Context Provider [Dale, Tom, Jim]

• Call in segment with Dave Recordon on West Coast?

SAML Context Provider [Dale, Tom, Jim]

• Interest in creating this?
• Help from OpenSSO project
• Resources?

IdAS [Jim]

• IFilter refactoring
  • String representations of filters
  • How to do substring and other matching rules which require non-standard attribute assertions
  • Do comparators need to be represented as an interface?
• org.eclipse.higgins.idas.model refactoring
  • Should the interfaces in the model package be used to produce instances of context data (digital subjects, attributes, filters, modification lists, etc.)?
  • Adding matching rules to the model
    • This overlaps some of the Data Model discussions below
    • Attributes should list the comparators they support
    • Comparators should specify the assertion value required
• Update operation refactoring
  • API atomicity for joining providers
  • Adding a new DS to the backing store

  • Semantics of display metadata
• Relaxing the OWL-DL constraint
  • Allow us to define our own kinds of Classes (e.g. for LDAP AUX classes, etc.)
  • Allow us to better "type" attribute data values (e.g. phone number masks (xxx)-xxx-xxxx) using XML Schema (I think)
• "Well known Contexts"
  • Paul's unusual and possibly misguided ideas about how some kinds of identifiers (e.g. email, telephone numbers) should be modeled
