@dhague : I agree.

UME integration may have to wait for next year though - right now we are compatible with all Java Servlet engines, and I think this is best for the open source stuff. There is some security/users/roles discussion on the Lift group right now, so it would be good if Lift supported a "plug & play" user/group/role model. UME would then just plug in.

@dhague : this is also a point in this blog - http://www.headshift.com/blog/2008/09/its-like-twitter-but-for.php . If we have UME integration, we have a lot of functionality out-of-the-box that is critical for enterprise sucess (for example integration with corporate LDAPs)

@yojibee : Of course,

Give Dick a spreadsheet to enter requirements, and off he goes! :)

@dickhirsch : It is on the list for Berlin http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pX53kJHdLSLvQq25EOcViVg&hl=en

@dhague : excellent news. We should think about adding UME support (including OpenID) at some point soon.
