We are walking on new ground here, so I'll step up to reply, but please take this as my personal opinions except on those matters where I won't be corrected.Incubator Folks,We have a proposal, an initial code base, identified committers, a willing web services pmc....What's the next step? Please advise.
There are couple of points I'll like to see done, and then we'll get along with actually starting the creation of the project.
Acceptance criteria: destination PMC vote
------------------------------------------
I've read the proposal, and the first thing that I note is a *strong* willingness of the WS PMC to accept the project. This is very positive IMHO, and since we are not here to be gatekeepers for proposals already accepted by other PMCs, IMO it constitutes a 'yes' to the acceptance.
Has the WS PMC voted on this?
If not, I'd suggest that a vote is done and we will acknowledge the result. If it has been already done, please post here a link to the votes.
Synergy
---------
I cannot fail to remember that we have another possible candidate in line (Wyona) that uses saml already and has his implementation in Java. I have already asked them about spinning off some of their code to other projects in Apache, and they were very positive about it. This is another positive thing.
Points to watch
----------------
One active committer is not much... this will be our main point to watch, and see that it gains momentum.
Blockers?
-----------
"Are there IPR-related concerns with SAML (patents held by RSA but offered royalty free)?"
Can you please elaborate more on this?
