Other Comments:

  • UMA now has one known complete implementation: "UMA/j" framework and User Experience implementation in Java (SMART project at Newcastle University); it will ultimately be open-sourced. UX testers are actively being sought by this project.
  • Voting participation has dropped again slightly, but a significant number of non-voting participants continue to join telecons regularly.
  • The WG is now using github as a working area for active spec development, in coordination with Kantara staff.
  • The UMA WG won a budget allocation of $4000 for use as a bounty to hosted validator developers, to be offered mid-year (i.e., now). We need to further prepare for this inside the WG (e.g. by revising our specs comprehensively) and coordinate with Kantara staff how to announce this bounty.
