All, I've taken Ben's initial CAS 4 roadmap document, the wish list, and some use cases that I had been keeping track of that you guys had mentioned on the mailing list as well as my own "view" of the CAS 3 and potential CAS 4 projects and pulled that all into one document entitled "CAS Vision and Roadmap (All Versions)":
http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CAS/CAS+Vision+and+Roadmap I'd like to encourage people to add their own ideas. What I had been trying to do was for the CAS 3.x branch, entries could be more specific due to the fact that the software already exists, but for the CAS 4.x branch, a lot of the ideas are more abstract due to the fact that the product doesn't exist. If you're interested in one of the items that are already there, please feel free to add your institutions/organization/company/individual name (especially if you're willing to help ;-)) Knowing who is interested and who can help allows us to prioritize features and ideas around those that are most likely to be used and actually implemented. Note that if you were at the recent JASIG conference (I unfortunately couldn't be due to an exam), you probably saw some of the JASIG members talking to the Internet2 Middleware team during the BarCamp portion of the conference. This roadmap and vision does include anything that may have come out of that initial meeting but will be continually updated when/if anything evolves from those discussions. Also, please note that no secret work has begun on a CAS 4 project. There is no warranty implied by the linked document. If the community sees no need for a CAS4 then there would be no CAS 4 ;-) And I'm sure sending this out on the Friday before a U.S. holiday weekend probably wasn't the best time, but I'm hoping you will all see it and participate! Have a good weekend (3-day weekend for those in the U.S. ;-)) -Scott -- -Scott Battaglia PGP Public Key Id: 0x383733AA LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/scottbattaglia
