how to do multiple sites in drupal, also good for clean site nameing. just
name the config file with your site name, eg: http://mysite.org/subir
would have the config file includes/mysite.org.subdir.php

ok, there is as simple ca on the web which looks to be a tcl wrapper with
a tk gui around the openssl functions. simpleca is also used with globus
(and now distributed with it in v3.2+). this seems to simply be a
collection of simplified command line tools for openssl (may be the same
simple ca that has the tk interface). in any case, these are not tools for
providing a web interface.

there seems to be two projects http://openca.org and
http://phpki.sourceforge.net . openca definitely looks more complete but
it may be over kill for now and have certain operational assumptions that

It would be nice to have gridftp to transfer data between disk systems (if
that becomes necessary). This would be used when moving files between
physical locations and might occur as the result of a global filesystem
restructure, eg. a cp /path1/myfile /path2/myfile might result in the
initiation of a gridftp transfer for myfile between the hosts the provide
/path1 and /path2.

Just a test to see what's really in the node if textile filtering is in place

On our call yesterday I mentioned one way to perceive the interface points
for middleware in the mailist space is to imagine a mail list service not
composed of a single application but as a collection of best-of-breed
apps: message distribution engine, archive viewer, and message composition
tool.

This is a link to a 3rd party site that provides list archive services:

http://www.mail-archive.com/about.html

Another method of archiving is via NNTP. This site is another 3rd party
service.

http://gmane.org/about.php

Both of these tools are nice stand alone services that could be collected

huh?

Found an article on the sympa site that nicely describes the authn/z
features.

http://www.sympa.org/documentation/AA-in-Sympa/

Looks like sympa is already well along the path of the features we are
discussing. This will help highlight the interfaces necessary for
directory service integration.

Looks like mm3 code is available via cvs on sourceforge

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mailman/mailman3/

Follow these instrux and use the mailman3 module to access it

http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=103

Looks like Mailman 3.0 is being fleshed out.

The dev page shows some future plans for the tool that are relevent to
our efforts:

The 3.0 flesh-out site is:

http://www.zope.org/Members/bwarsaw/MailmanDesignNotes/MailmanThreePointOh

Of particular relevance is the potential for mm3 to leverage zope. It's my
understanding that work is underway to integrate shib/zope. This may offer
some significant out of box integration.

the basic idea for a self registration site needs to be that a user can
determine what federation they are from and then either auto-login based
on an existing affiliation in the fed or join the friends zone. this can
let users span across several apps. there is still the need for an
application local user. but this doesn't necarrily need to be exposed, eg.
interface for admin/root to log in to a specific app. when thinking about
standalong orgs though, or all self registered orgs, people aren't really
joining the friends of. in that case they are the organization itself.
the friends of service is needed only if your site has a dominate user
