COmanage Product Roadmap (Functional)

Include logo

COmanage, a collaboration management platform, has been in progress for several years. We have explored many ways of solving some of the complex problems around allowing the tools used for collaboration - wikis, mailing lists, and more - to interoperate in a federated environment for organizations that have no brick-and-mortar defining them. As the work continues, we have laid out the plans for the next several years, focusing our efforts on four large collaborative organizations (CO) - LIGO, iPlant, OOI, and NEON - and any smaller CO interested in the tools and methodologies we are developing.

Primary Market = Large interinstitutional research groups and collaborative organizations
Secondary Markets = education and research-related committees, small interinstitutional research groups and collaborative organizations

Already completed in the COmanage effort

  • Creation and demonstration of prototype instances
  • Evaluation of possible downloadable/VM instance
  • Initial collaboration with international groups
  • NSF grant approval (Award 1032468)

Expected deliverables

Year one (2010-2011)

  • Complete requirements gathering from participating CO
  • Develop a Registry of Domesticated Applications
  • Creation of a User-driven Provisioning/de-provisioning library ??
  • Using a federated SSH toolset, a comprehensive federated SSH service will be installed in the CO, including provisioning and de-provisoning capabilities
  • Within the primary CO, COmanage will be implemented with appropriate UI for the CO
  • A pilot COmanage instance within InCommon ??
  • Determinations around levels of support with/for the participating CO
  • Extensive outreach with other international collaborative platform efforts (COIN)
  • Web services presentation of COmanage services for use by other applications, gateways, portals, etc.
  • Presentations will be made at Internet2 member meetings and the LIGO, iPlant, OOI and NEON all-hands meetings or other CO-appropriate forum

Year two (2011-2012)

  • Additional federated SSH architectures and implementations will be added to the toolkit, leveraging work within IETF and in Project Moonshot
  • Install COmanage instance in a cloud infrastructure
  • Develop OpenSocial toolkit for other COs and tools to present COmanage

Year three (2012-2013

  • Privilege management basics within Grouper for leveraging within COmanage.
  • A toolkit for CO
  • Open up COmanage to additional large CO

Out of initial scope (but still on the list)

  • Customizations based on secondary markets
  • Support of domain-specific tools within a COmanage instance
  • No labels
