need feedback: immediate move of Atlassian Confluence Shibboleth Authenticator to new repo

[Gary Weaver]

Peter,

Sounds great! Cool, so I will just call it confluence-http-authenticator
then for now. There was interest in combining the Jira authenticator here
which was based on the Confluence authenticator:
https://github.com/UW-Madison-DoIT/jiraRemoteUserAuth

I remember there being some differences when I emailed with John Hare, and
I think at the time it was easier for John to just split it off so they had
their own version, but I can talk with him again and see if we could
combine it once both of us have time to look at it more, though I would
hesitate to say that we could or should just combine forces as part of the
move and not create a new GitHub project for the existing version. If
nothing else, we need somewhere to put the old release jars for the
Confluence Shibboleth Authenticator just in case anyone needs them, though
I admit that isn't the best reason (mostly it is just trying to be
realistic about the time I'll have available between now and February to
work on it).

Let me know if you end up becoming a user on GitHub and want to be involved
later. We can always use more help, and it is easy to make you a member so
you can assist when you have time or want to. Much of the time support has
little to do with the code and more to do with either directing people to
the right resources (like the shib users list or existing documentation) or
someone like Scott Cantor or others on the team replying in tickets to
assist people (which will now happen in GitHub, although we might have
periodic questions via answers.atlassian.com, and unfortunately I miss some
of those because I don't stay on top of it like I'd like to).

Thanks!
Gary
