Wiki MarkupMilestones/ Project Steps \ [ZEST:Proposed by B. Sanjay Bissessur, March 11, 2007 - to be reviewed\]

The proposed steps are for the new phase (Pilot Phase) of the project following agreements made between NIST and ISDA after the initial TRB meeting. Some steps may occur concurrently and a few have been already initiated.

...

1. Establish revised Core Team
   1. Establish steering group (established March 2007)
2. Redraft Scope and requirements (March 21th, 2007)

   1. [Report on Platforms tested|WebSSO Prototyping#TestedPlatforms] - A great amount of work has already been effected for this part by Bob and has been documented \ [ZEST:link to Technical Documentation - Test Environment \ ]
   2. Identify other platforms for testing
   3. Test other platforms
   4. Document results
   5. Recommendations and any o/s issues (include integration costs with third parties)
   6. Review by Core Team / Cross-functional Steering Group
5. Identify customers for Pilot Phase (August 18, 2007)
6. Pilot Implementation
   1. Implementation at sites
   2. Documentation (September 22, 2007)
   3. Recommendations & Review
7. Cross-functional Steering Group review
8. Refinement of proposed implementation for MIT community
9. TRB review
10. Action Points for full implementation

If we decide to go with Cosign:
Aug. 11: Identify needed development work for pilot.
Subsequent milestones TBD.

=====

Issues:

• If we go with the Webauth package, and provide only Apache 2 support
  in the pilot, this limits possible participants in the pilot.
  Can we get enough participants for a meaningful pilot?

• Are we willing to commit significant long-term development resources
  to (for example) supporting Apache 1, IIS, and Java servlet in Webauth?

• If we go with Webauth, what other web server platforms are required
  for the intended Q2 roll-out? (Or, put another way, does that roll-out
  correspond to Phase 1 or Phase 2 of our discussed plan?)

• When do we need to test other servers (Windows IIS, Java, Oracle)?

• When should we test redundant login servers?

• This schedule assumes server machines are provided in a timely
  manner.

• What approval process is required before proceeding to pilot?
