[security-dev] PicketLink IDM subsystem

[Bolesław Dawidowicz]

What Stian is proposing (and it was main reason to send this email) is 
that we extract our work and put it in picketlink as a base for new 
subsystem. Obviously if it matches expectations and goes in same 
direction that you expect.

We don't want to duplicate work. The soon we align the better - and we 
have a bit of time to help right now.

We hope to either contribute this to PicketLink, or to be able to replace it with an official subsystem once it's available. If there is any interest in what we've done so far, we would welcome feedback and/or help to complete it.
