This page is tentative. It needs to be rationalized with the existing plan here: Backlog. If we decide to make this page authoritative, then the Backlog pages should be deleted or linked to.

Tentative Plan

• June date - Shadow Eclipse Release train if possible
• Items are logged as
  • HIGH have high probability of being completed in upcoming sprints by June 09.
  • DONE are already or nearly completed.
  • priority are high value elements, but do not necessarily have resources devoted to developing them at this time.

Solutions 1.1

• See Solutions 1.1

Client

• Getting all selector solutions to use the same Higgins Browser Extension and the Higgins Selector Switch as shown here: http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/Client-Overview-1.1.php

Selector Solutions

• AIR Client and Server 1.1 - get all the code checked in using new AIR ICM UI in black & white
• RCP - drop this for Higgins 1.1?
• GTK and Cocoa Selector 1.0 - need to create a 1.1 page and update architecture diagrams with new HSS, new Synchronizing Card Store, etc.
• Naming of the above with common branding: Higgins Selector for AIR, Higgins Selector for GTK - HIGH
• Merging of selectors (part of Architecture Harmonization) - start moving to a common service, especially AIR and DigitalMe - HIGH
• Positioning
  • Higgins Selector for MacOSX (AIR or Cocoa variant) - HIGH
  • Higgins Selector for Windows (AIR)
  • Higgins Selector for Linux (GTK) - already part of SUSE

• iPhone Selector - experimental I-Card Manager (standalone app) and I-Card Selector (MobileSafari plugin) for the iPhone
• Higgins Web Proxy - Web proxy "client" for Higgins Server. Speaks OpenID with AX.

Identity Web Services Solutions

Identity Provider web services:

• STS IdP - WS-Trust Identity Provider (webapp and web service)
• SAML2 IdP - SAML2 Identity Provider (webapp and web service)

Relying Party website or service:

• Extensible Protocol RP Website 1.1 - I-Card-enabled Relying Party site (webapp)

Identity Attribute Service Solutions

This solution is currently a local java component. The plan for Higgins 1.1 is to add an XDI web service binding and thereby create the "IdAS Server" that can act as an extensible gateway to existing data sources.

• IdAS Solution - Identity Attribute Service uses Context Provider plugins to adapt existing data sources to the Context Data Model.

Other

• XDI4j - General purpose library for XDI (see the Wikipedia page on XDI)

Components

IdAS-related components

• Google Contacts CP - HIGH
• CDM 1.1 - HIGH - Paul will do this
• CDM Access control - priority
• Restful Binding - priority
• IdAS support for new CDM and initial access control - priority
• Models as entities, especially data types - priority
• RDF CP
• JNDI/LDAP CP
• Access Control CP?
• Open Social CP
• JDBC CP

STS-related components

• SOAP1.2 - HIGH
• WS-Trust 1.3 - HIGH
• PPID algorithm support for v1.5 - DONE

Higgins Selector Switch Component

• Versions for
  • Windows
  • Linux
  • MacOSX - HIGH
• Merge connectors into the HSS - HIGH - [Jeesmon]
• Windows selector connector for CardSpace and AIR - DONE
• DigitalMe selector connectors (need MacOSX, Windows and Linux) - HIGH [Andy]

New Card Types

• UN/PW - HIGH
• OpenID - would be nice
• R - would be nice

Infrastructure

• Comb through Components page and correct all missing wiki pages, etc.
  • Improve Components page by showing
    • Make it easy to see which component is used in 1.0, 1.1 or both
    • Make it easy to see which components are building properly in the nightly build
• Breaking every jar into its own Eclipse project (relationship to Orbit) (Mary to ask for volunteer on the list.)
• Internationalization of certain CPs - done
• Evaluate how could internationalization the clients so that can outsource creating localized versions.
• Automated testing based on buckminster builds
• Paper on card-based authentication (Define card-based auth mechanism)??? where should this live, OASIS Security Services TC?
