We had a meeting today - sadly only wildintellect, robe, and jef
contributed, but I feel we got a lot accomplished.
Discussions were
1. How to deal with OSGeo4W and other (Windows / Mac build ) needs -- I
think more research needs to be done here.
I started a page as to my understanding of needs and what research needs to
be done to push forward.
2. How to convert wiki authentication to use our LDAP so it's like the other
services we offer?
Now that wiki has been migrated to latest version and Latest Debian OS - we
are ready to start work on this.
I sent a note to the most promising contractor proposal we received and he
said he can do it. I'll let you know once we find out more details about
this.
So the general plan is as follows:
1. Do some trial tests in dev environment I setup (that is a backup of
production wiki and secure (our ldap) )
2. Then push changes to production once we are comfortable we have the work
flow right
Workflow:
Users log in with their current wiki user and then log in again with their
LDAP credentials.
Information about their LDAP user would be added to their wiki account and,
in the future, they could use their LDAP credentials to log into their wiki
user account.
We ideally will not allow any new wiki accounts to be created (outside of
LDAP).
Eventually after some grace period we would then retire the original wiki
login method in favor of LDAP.
Yes, we should be able to start the transfer soon. I want to make sure we have the current DNS settings before starting, and I'm waiting to hear from QGIS PSC that they will take QGIS.us
So should happen this week, though might want until FedGeoDay is over to make sure nothing is disrupted this week.
Thanks,
Alex

Are their any updates for domain name transfers from planet federal?
