Hi Paolo, I have been working on some CEP (not sure if the change is so big it requires one but whatever) to provide a pluggable system to cqlsh for various authentication providers. Right now they are in a Python driver but a user can not choose which one to use, not even mentioning anything custom. I was discussing this with Brian Houser (among recipients) and we wanted to make it "official" but we are not there yet. We will try to complete what we have, create respective JIRA(s) if they do not exist and I guess we might include this one to your lovely list and maybe somebody will choose it!
I was doing GSOC in 2013 as a participant hence I guess I roughly know how it works and I will gladly help from the other side. Since I am somehow not a committer, it would require me to reach somebody out there to help me with that or I will just leave this to the right people to deliver if there is any chance folks would be interested in this one. Do you think this an area of interest a GSOC participant might choose to work on and do you agree with the process I have just proposed?
