Thanks Alain,

If it is possible, if someone from the team could send me any documentation 
and/or code that would be great, including more details for the upcoming plans.

Regards,
Chris

Subject: Re: [uportal-dev] grouper integration

Hi Jonathan

Thanks to have given this contacts and informations  from ESCO and ESUP

As you know, important work has been done by the   RECIA structure  for 
ESCO-Portail (based on U-portal )
to develop group management with "grouper" software in connection with the 
portal.

This year the ESUP-Portail consortium has put a priority task to adapt this  
work  for group management for higher education in ESUP-portail



Chris you can develop exchanges on these actions; we have  same objectives

Technical coordination of ESUP-portail is ensured by  Raymond Bourges; the 
contact for RECIA/ESCO is:  Christian Daviau

Bests

Alain

Hi Chris-

Many thanks for offering to take this on!  You may be aware that our colleagues 
in France with the ESUP- and ESCO-Portail consortia have an interest in this 
work too and have done some prior work already.  In the interests of getting 
everyone on the same page, I've cc'ed Alain Mayeur, director of ESUP-Portail.  
I'm hoping everyone who has something to add to this discussion will join in 
here.

I'm looking forward to seeing progress on this work and I know quite a few 
others on this list are too.  Thanks again.

Best,
Jonathan

Hey,

I'm Chris Hyzer from the University of Pennsylvania and on the Grouper 
development team, and I am interested in coding a uPortal-Grouper integration 
module.

I spoke with Andrew Petro at the Internet2 conference yesterday about this and 
he suggested I write the dev list to see if people have input.

My plan is to start with Chicago's uPortal-Grouper implementation which I heard 
is readonly, and add some update functionality.  We can see how well that 
works, and from there see what else can be handled by Grouper.   There are some 
gaps between uPortal's group functionality and what is offered out of the box 
by Grouper (e.g. attribute driven dynamic memberships, text file driven group 
lists, etc), so we can address things like that to see if it is a requirement 
and if we can enhance Grouper to support it (these two sound either useful or 
easy to do with Grouper).  It has been mentioned that if this integration works 
well, and if uPortal wants to get out of the Group business that Grouper could 
be shipped with uPortal similar to how CAS is.  I know this might sound 
controversial to some people, so let's see how it goes and think about how this 
might work and if we want to do it.

I believe Jen Bourey is expecting to provide support for me, and I might be 
asking the list for help as well especially since I am new to uPortal.  :)

I am wrapping up a release of Grouper now and hope to start development on this 
in a month or more.   I thought I would throw this out now if there is 
discussion around it.

Thoughts?  Questions?  Advice?

Thanks!
Chris
