Vassil,
I thought, pending Dick's spec of Container-based authentication I would
work on ESME-108 that he suggested.
I see that it is currently assigend to you. Would you or can I, assign it to
me/myself or would you like to (continue?) work on it?

Container based authentication is the idea that the container (jetty,
tomcat, etc.) is used to authenticate the user rather than using the
ESME internal (Open-ID, username-password) methods. For example, if
container authentication would be active then the user can sign on via
an external corporate single sign on mechanism and then ESME would
take the information from this system and use it as the user id.
This may be associated with the use of a corporate LDAP. You might
want to take a look at Lift's LDAP support to get an initial
impression of what is necessary.
Until I get back and do a full spec in JIRA for container-based
authentication, ESME 108 might be easier to work on

Vassil,
I have been tutoring myself just a bit on stuff related to ESME-214,
container-based authentication, and would you be in a position to tell me
*exactly* what needs to be done to make this 'resolved/implemented'. I'll
go ahead and do that and submit a patch to the Jira ticket.
Dick seems to be the originator, and Ethan appears incommunicado for the
past week !

Subject: Release planning
I've been working on the JIRA items and we have 10 items left for this
release.
The following items are linked to IE 7:
* ESME-207
* ESME-239
* ESME-208
Some of these items are CSS-related (for example, 207) but the other
ones are javascript / jquery related.
I think the two main issues are:
* ESME-205 Search is broken (This only happens when you use a JDBC
based compass indexes - first noticed on Stax but it also is present
locally)
* ESME-212 Messages from pools aren't hidden
I'm going to be gone the next four weeks on vacation, so either
someone else can coordinate the release or we wait until I return to
continue with our release preparations.
If anyone wants to work on other items until the release, here are
other items that I consider important:
* ESME-108 - View my pools" functionality
* ESME-170 Pubsubhubbub support for Atom & RSS actions#
* ESME-214 Add container-based authentication
* ESME-213 Twitter API is out-of-date and API calls don't always
return the correct info
-- other api2 related changes - see the ToDos at the bottom of the
API2.scala page .
