Hi all -

I'm currently wrapping up a long-standing project, so my apologies for
the delay in following up on Steve's mail. That said, I'm excited to
take an active facilitation role in helping to move this project forward.

Given the "next steps" that Steve enumerated in his mail, the operative 
question seems to be are we ready to recommend best practices, and if not, 
what remaining issues need resolution?

I'd like to use this as the primary discussion topic for tomorrow's phone 
meeting. To get the ball rolling, I'd appreciate it if folks could reply back 
to the list with a brief response to the following questions:

Campus pilot configuration information(if a subset of functionality isn't 
active, put (none)
  1. Shib-enabled electronic resources:
  2. Proxy server/remote access software used:
  3. Link resolver softwareused:
  4. Shib-enabled library services enabled:

A. Is this pilot configuration being used by patrons (in a production or 
real-world beta capacity)?
B. What are your main unresolved issues with this configuration?
C. What additional Shibboleth functionality could make this better?
D. What supplementary solutions could make this better?
E. If you are using a different configuration for production, what are the 
outstanding issues with your current production system and do you think that 
shibboleth and the hybrid environment solution(s) proposed so far could 
resolve these issues?
F. Other comments/questions

I'll send an agenda with discussion questions and connection information 
later this afternoon.

Thanks!

Holly
