Hi!
Thanks for the effort - sounds like a worthy project!
I think you will save yourself a lot of grief if you work on the
2.8.1 branch, since the trunk is now the subject of a lot of changes
- but note that we *will* be making some rather major changes for
3.0, so you may face a small porting effort towards the end. We
certainly wouldn't like to land a major feature in 2.8 branch
anymore, since it's rather stable.
I think the first thing you could do is to outline your plan as to
how exactly are you planning to hook into our structures - a good
place to start is probably the Security documentation at http://
doc.jspwiki.org/2.8/wiki/Security, and then asking a lot of questions
on this mailing list.
Also, since we are talking about a fairly large project here, you
might want to sign a contributor license agreement (CLA), and
depending on the German copyright legislation, get also Heilbronn to
sign a corporate CLA. That, or Heilbronn (or you) need to, at the
end of the project, give a software grant (SGA) to Apache Software
Foundation. But these are not biggies and can be tackled if/when we
start merging ;-)

Hi JSPWiki Devs,
I am a student at Heilbronn University in Germany (Some of you
might know Christoph Sauer, who worked there.)
As pre-thesis for my diploma I want to enhance JSPWiki with OpenID.
I am still pretty new to JSPWIki, OpenID and JAAS.
I have worked my way through the official OpenID 2.0 Authentication
standard
and will do as well for Attributes Exchange.
I would like to base my work on the 2.8.1 tag and
see to get it integrate into the trunk later. Is that the correct
way to do it?
As I see Andrew already spent quite some time on OpenID and did
some preparations.
Since I plan to get my diploma somday soon (say in 2009 ;-)), I
have a high personal interest
in getting OpenID into JSPWiki.
Summary:
* I have time
* I have motivation
* I need some help to get started ;-)
Any suggestions where to begin? I guess registration/profile
creation would be first.
kind regards
