2) Minutes

Approved the following minutes:

3) Review Valeska's v5 ideas

We had a productive discussion of the v5 mockups. The result was the emergence of a rough consensus on the following set of requirements and that a new set of mockups is needed from Valeska:

(a) The not-first-time popup remains the same as v4
(b) The first-time popup will have a list of 0..N "preferred" IdPs (likely at the top)
  • These will be displayed as icons (with the name as hover text)
  • If no icon is available then the name of the IdP will be used
(c) Non-preferred IdP selection:
If (number-of-accepted-IdPs is less than TBD1) then
{
  Display all of them as a set of icons
} else if (number-of-accepted-IdPs is less than TBD2) then
{
  Display all of them by name in a vertical list
} else
{
  // there is either a large (i.e. more than TBD2) fixed set of acceptable IdPs
  // or there is an unknowably sized set of acceptable IdPs (e.g. the RP supports WebFinger)
  If (RP supports WebFinger AND RP supports a fixed set of acceptable IdPs) then
  {
    Display a text entry widget whose label says
       "type an email address OR the name of an identity provider"
  } else if (RP supports a fixed set of acceptable IdPs) then
  {
    Display a text entry widget whose label says "find your identity provider"
  } else if (RP supports WebFinger) then
  {
    Display a text entry widget whose label says "type an email address"
  }
}
(d) TBD Values

The following are suggestions only, there were NOT agreed to in the meeting:

  • TBD1 might be 6
  • TBD2 might be 12
  • TBD3 might be 12
(e) More about the text widget
  • This is a widget like Google's latest search box. That is, as you type there is a fixed set of at most TBD3 names of matching IdPs appears. As you continue to type the list of suggestions converges to your choice
  • If the text box supports both WebFinger then until the person types an "@" we assume it is the name of an identity provider and the suggestions are names of identity providers. After they type an @ ... we did not come to a conclusion on this)
