I would like to report a success story!  A few months ago, I started
looking into getting CAS integrated with our authentication system.
About a month ago, our first in-house application went live using CAS.
 Since then we've deployed 2 new application and CAS-ified a couple
existing applications.  Today at noon, our first 3rd party vendor went
live using CAS!

CAS has solved a number of problems for us:
Allowing 3rd parties to use our authentication w/out passing our
credentials to them
Unify authentication mechanisms for in-house apps
Allow other campus entities to use our authentication mechanisms

I've recently subscribed to the mailing list and will be making a few
changes based on what I've read.

Now to business.  We were excited to see that CAS supported OpenID,
though I now realize that the support is rather broken.  I also ran
across the roadmap which shows it disappearing in 3.5 and coming back
in 3.9.  There are some very exciting changes put forth in the roadmap
and I'd like to offer some of my time to make it happen.  Is the
roadmap (which is over a year old) still current, and what tasks are
in need of an owner?

Thanks,
Eric

they do everything they can to try and screw Sun over, I mean they
didn't name eclipse casually
