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. --Paul On 3/18/09 1:29 AM, "Drummond Reed" <敮[email protected].> wrote: 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. =Drummond From: [email protected].

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? --Paul On 3/17/09 2:19 PM, "Mary Ruddy" <[email protected].> wrote: Should door number 1 be called Higgins Selectors (plural) since all three doors point to multiple things?

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. --Paul On 3/16/09 10:39 PM, "Mary Ruddy" <[email protected].> wrote: Cleaning this up will be great. It would be nice if we could get even more differentiation between IDS and IdAS. Both have long names of Identity Attribute Service. What about IDWS (Identity Attribute Web Service)? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected]. [mailto:[email protected].] On Behalf Of Paul Trevithick Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 6:23 PM To: higgins-dev Subject: [higgins-dev] Reorganizing Higgins site/content (another tweak) 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). --Paul _______________________________________________ higgins-dev mailing list [email protected]. https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/higgins-dev _______________________________________________ higgins-dev mailing list [email protected]. https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/higgins-dev _______________________________________________ higgins-dev mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/higgins-dev
