Matt,
I noticed this email and have forwarded it to cas-steer for discussion
of what the CAS Steering Committee would consider. :)
Without that discussion having happened, I'm not prepared to speak
authoritatively to what additional strategic effort, coordination,
calories the CAS Steering Committee might be willing to consider applying.
I will however note that in some ways this is less a question of whom
Jasig and cas-steer would consider working with, and more a matter of
who would consider working with the CAS community. CAS is free and open
source software with a simple, well-documented protocol, an extensible
modular implementation, and most importantly, a community of developers
and participants with a justly-earned reputation for friendliness. When
providers of SSO-as-a-service apply effort and engage with the CAS
community to enhance the CAS support of their products and services, I'd
expect they'd get supportive responses on the lists and elsewhere as
most other comers have, and I'd expect they could be quite successful in
CAS-integrating their products.
I appreciate that's not quite what you asked, though. Your question
seems to go more to the strategic value to Jasig and to CAS in
instigating this kind of support for the CAS protocol in these products
and services. It's a worthwhile strategic question, one I'll take up
with the CAS Steering Committee, which doesn't preclude further
discussion here as well.
Thanks for bringing it up.

Would JASIG or the CAS Steering Committee (or whomever is appropriate)
consider working with an existing authentication provider like
http://www.protectnetwork.org/ to offer the CAS protocol as an
additional authentication service? ProtectNetwork today advertises
"Open standards compliant: Shibboleth, SAML, OpenID", so they are
already multi-protocol.

I was thinking if we can start CAS on Cloud then it would very
easier for any developer to test and learn CAS.
Sounds great except "cloud" is far too vague in terms of both
provisioning and consumption. Practically speaking, who would
host this offering?
What features should this cloud offering provide? (I assume the
cloud offering is strictly for demonstration and evaluation). The
most common features needed by deployers:
- Username/password authentication with LDAP backend -
JpaTicketRegistry for ticket storage/registered services
(Memcached comes in second by my very unofficial scorekeeping)
Anything else?
