Not sure they can be branded Higgins since there is no Higgins brand, but
they should be labeled as part of the Eclipse Higgins Project

All Higgins solutions including the various flavors of the Higgins Selector
are (or are supposed to be):
      branded Higgins
      downloadable as a set of components and deployable

In addition for some of these there may be packaged/rebranded versions
available (e.g. From Novell as “DigitalMe”). These versions are often
better packaged and easier to install than the equivalent Higgins versions.

But you’re right we need to lay this out more clearly.

      One point: If it stays singular (“Higgins Selector”), the reader is
      going to expect to be able to download and install and use something
      branded as the “Higgins Selector”. However if the Higgins Selector is
      only available as a set of components that are packaged and rebranded
      for distribution by others (e.g., Azigo, DigitalMe), then the
      underlying pages should explain that clearly, and provide links to
      where the branded packages can be downloaded.

      It was a conscious choice in the interest of simplicity. All of the
      separate selectors we have could be thought of as just different
      flavors for different platforms. But there’s really only one thing,
      the Higgins Selector. By contrast, behind the other 2 doors are
      mixtures of different kinds of things.

      Could be wrong. What do others think?

      Oops. That was a typo. IDS was supposed to be “Identity Data
      Service” (see red correction below).

      BTW, I’ve implemented tonight these changes in the home page and the
      top three “overview”/door pages (now as wiki pages) in the staging
      area here: http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/ver2/index.php.

      Cleaning  this up will be great. It would be nice if we could get

      Folks,

      I’m just back from three days of Higgins  meetings in France with the
      FC2
      consortium. The experience prompt the  following proposed changes to
      the
      site/wiki content:

      TODAY         -->         PROPOSED
      =====                    ========

      Clients                  Selectors
      -------                  ---------
      AIR  Client & Server     AIR Selector (including  ICS)
                              Web  Selector (including ICS)
      ICM[missing!]            merged into the  above
      RCP                      no  change
      GTK/Cocoa                no  change
      FF-embedded              no  change

      Identity Services       Identity  Services
      -----------------        -----------------
      WS-Trust IdP             no  change
      SAML IdP                 no  change
      RP                       no  change
      Web Selector             moved up  above
      XDI4J                    moved  down  below

      Identity  Att. Svcs      Attribute  Services
      ------------------       ------------------
                              IDS  - multiprotocol web  service
                              XDI4J  - now moved  here
                              IdAS  - today's Java framework

      Where IDS is short for "Identity Data Service," a multiprotocol
      attribute data service  (web service) based on IdAS  framework.

      Advantages/Disadvantages
      ------------------------
        +  All three "doors" are now doors to multiple things
      (consistency)
        + We differentiate between the IdAS Java  interfaces and the IDS
        + We use "selector" instead of  "client"
          + so we can include the "web selector"  under "selectors"
          + now all selectors are grouped  together under "Selectors"
        + XDI4J has a better  home
        + The missing WEB (GWT) I-Card Manager now has a  home
        + Now IDS can support Plaxo Portable Contacts, XDI, etc.  without
          being confused with the name of the  underlying framework (IdAS)
        - The client word was a less  bias-proclaiming word than selector.
          We switched to  client when we thought contributions from
          IDIB  and/or Liberty (ECP, etc.) folks might be  forthcoming.
          Now we should just go back to making a  "multi-protocol" selector
          and be welcoming by our  actions (true  multi-protocol-ness).
