I do not know of any open-source implementation under way for Sling. But I would assume, it would definitely be a good addition to Sling. > > With user management I'm thinking about; > > glue between login form page and jcr authenticatio I assume you are talking about an AuthenticationHandler ? > user node type definitions with most common properties for basic users; > uid, password, > basic group node types > basic manager for managing users and groups; add/remove/update, change > group membership. This sounds like two stories: One story is probably a LoginHandler and an AccessManager for Jackrabbit and the other story is adding "user profile" information. Before setting out to implement anything new, you might want take a look at what has been done around JCR-1171 with respect to (start to) implement what will utimately become support JSR-283 (JCR2.0) access control specificaiton. This has actually been released as part of the Jackrabbit 1.5 release. I have to admit, that I do not know much about this stuff (yet -- well, another area to catch up on ;-) ), but it might be worth looking at that. The other part of the story is the user profile information, and this is where it gets really interesting for Sling: I think this is something we can work on. And finally creating GUI to manage all these things ... I think all in all, such stuff would make for a nice extension to the basic offerings of Sling. Regards Felix
