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 updated and linked to.
+
This page provides an overview of what's being developed or has already been developed for Higgins 1.1. Many of the items on this page have been pulled from the overall long term wishlist here: [[Higgins Backlog]] and sub-backlog pages linked from it (e.g. [[Website Backlog]], etc.).  
  
==Tentative Plan==
+
=== Process (revised 7-July-2009)  ===
* June date - Shadow Eclipse Release train if possible <-- very unlikely
+
* 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 ==
+
'''Bugzilla (NOT this page NOR the milestone pages) is the authoritative tracking system.'''
* See [[Solutions 1.1]]
+
  
 +
Process:
  
 +
*We write up task descriptions on this page and discuss them on the list and on weekly calls. The idea is to comb through this page looking for items to schedule (put into Bugziilla). In some ways this page is really a Higgins 1.1 wish list, because anything that doesn't have a bugzilla item isn't "real" (isn't scheduled).
 +
*We create bugzilla items for each and copy the descriptions into the bugzilla entry (often embedded links to wiki pages). The bugzilla entry tags them as to milestone
  
===Higgins Client ===
+
This page and the milestone pages:  
Architectural consistency:
+
* Get 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
+
  
Naming/wiki documentation
+
*What remains on this page are just a one-liners with a link to the bugzilla description.
* Revise all selector "so called" solutions wiki pages to indeed be solutions: meaning that they describe ALL of the components required to work. [This means that the solutions wiki pages for all but the "AIR client and server" need to be updated to add mention of HSS, HBX, and [in some cases] Higgins Server components or component sets] - '''HIGH''' [NEW]
+
*If desired, we can copy this one liner to the dedicated milestone page (e.g. [[Higgins1.1M7]]
  
* Renaming these solutions:
+
== Overview ==
** Higgins Client for MacOSX (AIR) - includes Higgins Selector for MacOSX (AIR), HSS for MacOSX, HBX for Firefox
+
** Higgins Client for MacOSX (Cocoa) - includes Higgins Selector for MacOSX (Cocoa), HSS for MacOSX, HBX for Firefox
+
** Higgins Client for Windows (AIR) - includes Higgins Selector for Windows (AIR), HSS for Windows, HBX for Firefox
+
** Higgins Client for Windows (GTK) - includes Higgins Selector for Windows (AIR), HSS for Windows, HBX for Firefox
+
** Higgins Client for Linux (GTK) - includes Higgins Selector for Linux (GTK), HSS for Linux, HBX for Firefox
+
  
* Renaming these client component sets to: '''HIGH'''
+
*Current release target date is July 2010
** Selector for MacOSX (AIR)
+
*Upcoming milestone: [[Higgins 1.1]]
** Selector for MacOSX (Cocoa)
+
*[https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Higgins Enter a bug]
** Selector for Windows (AIR)
+
** Selector for Windows (GTK)
+
** Selector for Windows (RCP)
+
** Selector for Linux (GTK)
+
** Higgins Selector Switch for Windows
+
** Higgins Selector Switch for MacOSX
+
** Higgins Selector Switch for Linux
+
  
Solutions:
+
== Higgins Selector  ==
* [[GTK and Cocoa Selector 1.1]] - need to split and rename according to the above, and update architecture diagrams with new HSS, new Synchronizing Card Store, etc. - '''HIGH'''
+
* [[AIR Client and Server 1.1]] - get Parity to check in all code updates (e.g. new AIR ICM with skinnable "Higgins" UI branding (like what Andy did))
+
* RCP - decide if Tie Li will update this for 1.1
+
  
Experimental Solution:
+
=== [[AIR Selector 1.1]] ===
*  iPhone Selector - experimental I-Card Manager (standalone app) and I-Card Selector (MobileSafari plugin) for the iPhone
+
  
===Identity Web Services Solutions===
+
* See [[Higgins 1.1]]
  
Identity Provider web services:
+
Done:  
* [[STS IdP]] - WS-Trust Identity Provider (webapp and web service)
+
*See [[Higgins 1.1M8]] and earlier
* [[SAML2 IdP]] - SAML2 Identity Provider (webapp and web service)
+
  
Relying Party website or service:
+
=== [[IPhone Selector 1.1]] ===
* [[Extensible Protocol RP Website 1.1]] - I-Card-enabled Relying Party site (webapp)
+
  
Other
+
1.1:
* [[Higgins Web Selector]] - Web proxy "client" for Higgins Server. Speaks OpenID with AX.
+
* Update downloads page http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/downloads.php
  
===Identity Attribute Service Solutions===
+
Done:
 +
*See [[Higgins 1.1M8]] and earlier
  
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.
+
=== [[Android Selector 1.1]]  ===
  
* [[IdAS Solution]] - Identity Attribute Service uses Context Provider plugins to adapt existing data sources to the Context Data Model.
+
* See [[Higgins 1.1]]
  
===Other ===
+
=== Unsupported  ===
* XDI4j - General purpose library for XDI (see the Wikipedia page on XDI)
+
  
== Components ==
+
During the course of Higgins 1.1 development we experimented with the following selector variants, but in each case decided not to make them an official part of Higgins 1.1:

#*Introduce a marker interface IAuthnMaterials, which all Authentication Materials classes implement

This page provides an overview of what's being developed or has already been developed for Higgins 1.1. Many of the items on this page have been pulled from the overall long term wishlist here: Higgins Backlog and sub-backlog pages linked from it (e.g. Website Backlog, etc.).

Process (revised 7-July-2009)

Bugzilla (NOT this page NOR the milestone pages) is the authoritative tracking system.

Process:

  • We write up task descriptions on this page and discuss them on the list and on weekly calls. The idea is to comb through this page looking for items to schedule (put into Bugziilla). In some ways this page is really a Higgins 1.1 wish list, because anything that doesn't have a bugzilla item isn't "real" (isn't scheduled).
  • We create bugzilla items for each and copy the descriptions into the bugzilla entry (often embedded links to wiki pages). The bugzilla entry tags them as to milestone

This page and the milestone pages:

  • What remains on this page are just a one-liners with a link to the bugzilla description.
  • If desired, we can copy this one liner to the dedicated milestone page (e.g. Higgins1.1M7
