In order to more effectively implement authentication for the SDS 
(and protect the data and resources it contains) I am changing the 
name of the <user> resource in the SDS to <sail-user> in development 
sds today.

I never should have used the name user for a sail-user. I knew it was 
stupid when I did it ages ago and it was just laziness.

Now that we have both a dev sds and a production sds I'm making these 
changes to the dev version at:

   http://rails.dev.concord.org/sds

It's very likely that the dev sds will be unstable today.

When these and many other changes in the dev sds have been tested 
they will be moved to the production sds at:

   http://saildataservice.concord.org

When the dev SDS is stable again shortly you will need to 
authenticate before you  can create or edit SDS resources. In 
addition shortly thereafter in order to do the same thing from a REST 
interface you'll need to use HTTP Basic authentication and probably 
connect via https to the SDS.

At this point a browser starting a jnlp and interactions between the 
SAIL application and the SDS will not require HTTPS or authentication 
however that should be done soon also.

Before the changes to the dev SDS are moved to the production SDS 
Cynic (PAS-Portal), Hiroki (DevWise), and CC (all the DIY variants) 
will need to make sure that their web applications will work with the 
new resource name.

Aaron and I will be sending out more information about the plan for 
the rest of the changes soon.
