Hi all -



Thanks to Chicago and Washington for getting their case studies written
up and posted -- Penn, Cornell and Maryland, if you can get yours posted
in the next week (by 9/12), that would be great.



Per the minutes from 7/25, I'd like to identify short term and final
goals for this group. Specifically, I'd like to plot this out in such a
way that we can summarize the current state of the pilot, identify goals
for the final stretch, include additional campuses as appropriate,
actively pilot some of these scenarios and come out with the best
practices document by next June. How's that for ambitious?



Currently, it seems that we have the user cases and available
technologies enumerated, but haven't piloted broadly enough to feel
confident in recommending best practices. We have identified a number of
issues that vendors should consider when implementing Shibboleth, as
well as some features for Shibboleth that would make it more usable for
libraries.



I've summarized information from the case studies as well as the earlier
survey at
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/inclibrary/InCommon+Library+Service
s+Working+Group, under Project Status.



For this Friday's (9/5) meeting, I'd like to discuss future goals and
timelines. Ideas are posted at:

- Short term goals:
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/inclibrary/Project+Status+-+October
+2008

- Long term goals:
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/inclibrary/Project+Status+-+June+20
09



If we have time at Friday's meeting, we'll start talking about the
following documents - otherwise we can conduct the discussion on email:



- Why should I:

- Shibboleth Functionality requests:

For the Friday meeting on 9/19, I'd like to talk use case scenarios and
pilot test strategy:

I'll be sending out the 9/5 agenda shortly.



Thanks!
