is OpenID Connect on the roadmap?

[Tom Scavo]

I realize the Shib dev team is sorta rebuilding right now but I
thought I'd bring this up anyway. Are there plans to add OpenID
Connect to the list of protocols supported by the IdP? It would be
much easier to introduce OpenID Connect in the InCommon Federation if
the IdP supported it natively.

A possible response might be: why implement OpenID Connect in the IdP
first (if Shib supports it at all)? As is usually the case, it's a
chicken-and-egg problem that kinda depends on how you look at it. My
thought (today) is that if OpenID Connect succeeds, it will succeed at
internal SSO before external SSO (which is exactly what we've seen
happen with SAML). But I don't really want to debate priorities, I'm
more interested in your thoughts regarding OpenID Connect as a
supported protocol in Shibboleth.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Tom
