SAML authentication is not a priority anymore, since we (will) have OpenID support, and this seems to be the more successful and useful SSO mechanism. Support for AJAX calls is not profitable at the moment, since it will either become deprecated soon after completion, or it requires prior work for transforming parts of the current xwiki-core into proper components. The Web Services integration is interesting, and might complement our new REST and GWT APIs. This will need a more detailed discussion on the devs list, to see if it is indeed something we want and need. > BTW i still don't know whether this is too early or not to ask for project > ideas n stuff ,but am certainly hoping to work with you guys if all goes > well .I'm still new to XWiki engine and it's aspects but i am willing to, > learn and have a good run on xWiki.
