[DotGNU]Identity/Authorization Project

[Adam Theo]

Hello, Adam Theo here;

Thank you to everyone here on the dotGNU developers list. I have enjoyed 
every post that has come through since I signed up, and found the ideas 
issues that have come through to be informative.

I am particularly interested in this project's need for an Identity and 
Authorization system.

For the past month and a half, myself and two others have been quietly 
working on an open source Identity and Authorization system. up until 
now we have just been working on it over jabber (an open source instant 
messaging system) and a mailing list i had set up for it. We have not 
been publicizing our effort because we know many previous attempts by 
others have been hyped and failed horribly. So we decided we would not 
speak out until we had some solid ideas and other pieces to actually 
show for it. That time has just about come, we have decided, and at a 
perfect time, we think.

We have seen a surge of interest and need for an Identity system that is 
free and open. We are now inviting people to join in and share their 
ideas with us. Do not think we have set our notions of how the system 
will work. What we do have is a few good ideas that we think can work, 
and would like to throw them out there to the wind, so to speak, and see 
what everyone thinks. Also, feel free to post your own ideas. they can 
form new ideas that we can all work off of.

I think it is possible our two projects can work together, We are not 
trying to make a .NET copied system, and I understand this project needs 
some ideas for an Identity and Authorization system. I cannot promise 
how much we can work together. It could be our goals and methods turn 
out to be very different. But no matter what, at the very least we can 
freely share ideas and concepts to help each other out.

I encourage everyone interested in a Identity and Authorization system 
for dotGNU to sign up for the Theoretic Identity project mailing list. 
We do not have any ideas or concepts set in stone, so everything is 
still open to discussion.
