 With the reference to geant shib oidc - project,

 We are usually alerted if something related to our work is mentioned 
on this list. However, at least until now, we have mainly worked 
together with Henri as there seems to be no big design issues to deal 
with. To us it is more of understanding the existing design of 
Shibboleth IdP. Easiest way to follow our work is to run "vagrant up" 
and to see what the installation is already capable of. Anyone fluent 
with Shibboleth should get an idea where we are at by checking 
configuration files etc. Maybe that will bring design issues to solve 
for us and to be discussed on this list.
 Even though the project may be used to setup a simple shib based OP 
for implicit flow, the extension is not even near to be released yet nor 
is the result a fully compliant OP.
