[higgins-dev] Reorganizing Higgins site/content (another tweak)
|
Folks,
I¹m just back from three days of Higgins meetings in France with the FC2
consortium. The experience prompt the following proposed changes to the
site/wiki content:
TODAY --> PROPOSED
===== ========
Clients Selectors
------- ---------
AIR Client & Server AIR Selector (including ICS)
Web Selector (including ICS)
ICM[missing!] merged into the above
RCP no change
GTK/Cocoa no change
FF-embedded no change
Identity Services Identity Services
----------------- -----------------
WS-Trust IdP no change
SAML IdP no change
RP no change
Web Selector moved up above
XDI4J moved down below
Identity Att. Svcs Attribute Services
------------------ ------------------
IDS - multiprotocol web service
XDI4J - now moved here
IdAS - today's Java framework
Where IDS is short for "Identity Attribute Service," a multiprotocol
attribute data service (web service) based on IdAS framework.
Advantages/Disadvantages
------------------------
+ All three "doors" are now doors to multiple things (consistency)
+ We differentiate between the IdAS Java interfaces and the IDS
+ We use "selector" instead of "client"
+ so we can include the "web selector" under "selectors"
+ now all selectors are grouped together under "Selectors"
+ XDI4J has a better home
+ The missing WEB (GWT) I-Card Manager now has a home
+ Now IDS can support Plaxo Portable Contacts, XDI, etc. without
being confused with the name of the underlying framework (IdAS)
- The client word was a less bias-proclaiming word than selector.
We switched to client when we thought contributions from
IDIB and/or Liberty (ECP, etc.) folks might be forthcoming.
Now we should just go back to making a "multi-protocol" selector
and be welcoming by our actions (true multi-protocol-ness).
