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.

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 Le 29 avr. 10 à 20:26, Jonathan Markow a écrit : 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.

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!
