Pardon the mess, I'm dumping useful URLs here with some annotation. Actual narrative is coming soon.

Web Infrastructure

The Pleiades project web infrastructure consists of three applications:

  1. A content web site (Plone)
  2. A software revision control system? (Subversion)
  3. A bug/issue tracker and wiki? (Trac)

Users and Authentication

Users of these applications must be authenticated (aka "logged in") in order to

  • Participate in the project's content provenance-assuring workflow
  • Prevent web site spam

Nothing kills off participation more effectively than making users keep multiple logins, and therefore the Pleiades project needs a way to consolidate logins. Our effort to do so follows the plone.org recipe and is called the Pleiades Single Sign-on.
