With all due respect, we do need a roadmap. As a member of the steering committee, you initially raised a concern about our long term road map, and started the discussion to re-vamp it. I have not yet seen the results of that. Andrew volunteered (if I recall correctly) to start/seed the conversation on the dev list. The only conversation I see in my archives is titled "vision for the services registry tool in CAS 3.5" in which Andrew posted his link AND took the initiative without discussion to update JIRA. Marvin pushed back about aligning this vision with the roadmap, which had ideas on revamping that same tool (as well as other ideas). As far as I am aware, this discussion has not happened.
With regards to what is the "best" roadmap, I think that is up for discussion, which is what was supposed to happen. This was our roadmap, until concerns were raised about supporting SAML2: https://wiki.jasig.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=28574039 Also, as a member of the steering committee and a now recently re-active committer (you had 6 commits in January 2005 until your most recent commits), I would highly recommend ensuring that you understand the scope of the CAS community. The CAS community is made up of institutions of higher education, companies that support higher education, non-profits, government agencies, corporations, and individuals. The community as a whole drives the improvements to the CAS3 code base as well as CAS4. There are not two classes of citizens. Both higher education AND all other interested parties are seen as equals. What matters is that the project continues to evolve in the way the community wants it to. I'm not sure I follow the "have we given up on 3.x" comment. There has just recently been both a 3.4.9 and 3.4.10 release, with bug fixes assigned for a 3.4.11 release. What I'm pushing back on is the lack of completion of the roadmap that the steering committee committed to doing. We owe it the CAS community to create a sustainable project (for example, ClearPass hasn't been updated since support for the CAS 3.4.6 release).
