2.0

Lite UI enhancement

Support easier to use end-user UI components in addition to the existing administrative UI. Initial component, for managing membership of a single group, is in v1.5.

In v2.0, add simple management of attributes, roles, and permissions.

At some point, add basic admin workflows to the Lite UI framework.

1.6+

Grouper Web Services enhancement

Continue adding capabilities to meet requirements from the field.

Implement versioning of the WS interfaces.

1.6-2.0+

Notification of changes

In v1.6, build on the initial implementation of incremental group, membership, and folder (or namespace) change notifications in v1.5 to provide notification based on flattened group membership to more efficiently enable relying parties to maintain membership lists. Also in v1.6, partner with a deployment using an asynchronous messaging infrastructure (perhaps an ESB) to drive enhancement of the toolkit for that style of data integration.

For v2.0, add flattened membership notification.
Somewhere along the line, add ability for users to register to be notified of changes to specified objects.

1.6-2.0

Ldappc NG

Complete work on the new Ldappc, built from the Shibboleth Attribute Resolver and SPML components. Integrate with Grouper notifications for asynchronous, incremental updating in addition to periodic batch style updating. Includes specific support for Active Directory.
Produce a packaging of Ldappc NG as a Shibboleth DataConnector for Grouper.

Consider adding an SPML input to grouper capability.

Dynamic group membership

Dynamically maintain groups and memberships based on conditions external to Grouper. The Loader does this for RDBMS sources using a combination of SQL and Loader-specific configuration. New capabilities to be developed will include linking groups and memberships to LDAP-resident attributes.
