Sam Ruby commented on WHIMSY-54:
--------------------------------

The commits you saw were not successful; but I'm certainly experimenting along 
those lines.

I believe I have working on my machine asf-secretary and root, but I won't know 
for sure until it is deployed as I don't have a test id (and certainly not one 
as root).

Not yet explored: dissimilar ldap configurations.  For example, member is a 
list of memberUids, but pmc-chair is a list of members (full dn's).  This poses 
two challenges: finding a way to represent this cleanly in the YAML and making 
it work.  Both appear to be solvable.

There remains one notable exception: if a committer is invited to a board 
meeting, they have access to the agenda even if they are neither a member or 
pmc-chair.

> Various parts of Whimsy require auth.
> At present this is done per app, which results in quite a complicated scheme.
> Also the auth conf is held in puppet whereas the app is in the Whimsy repo, 
> so it's tricky to relate them.
> When adding a new app, the puppet config has to be updated as well.
> This can easily be overlooked.
> Maybe we should just use auth at the top level directory?
> This might require some apps to be moved, but would be much simpler to 
> maintain going forward.
> The following levels are used currently:
> None
> ASF Committers
> ASF Members and Incubator PMC
> ASF Members and Officers
> ASF Members
> ASF Secretarial Team
> This suggests the following directories as a minimum:
> committers
> incubator
> officers
> members
> secretary
