What we did
Based on its initial charge, the Registries subteam developed a functional model of Identity Registries, a Glossary, and collected a list of functional requirements from subteam participants. The requirements list is fairly comprehensive in that it covers almost areas of interest in a Registries system, but the list has not been edited for consistency, nor prioritized. More requirements could be added.
3 projects assessed their capabilities against the requirements: OpenRegistry, the PSU Central Person Registry, and Kuali Identity Management. There are pluses and minuses to each projects, as detailed below. A fourth project, ForgeRock, may also be assessed. At this point no one project stands out as the obvious one to choose based on either current functionality or likely future wonderfulness.
