Status check

Hi Team, looks like this module is further along than the last time I checked! I have several websites in production using simplesamlphp_auth, when would you recommend switching over to this?
Thanks as always,
Zach

Also, are you looking for contributors for an 8.x branch?

Hey Zach,

We have several websites using this module and are very happy with it's stability. If you are already using simplesaml on your website you should be able to use this module. There is no migration path from the contrib module to this module but with a little effort it should be able to replace what you have.

This module (or something similar) is a top priority for us in D8 but we don't yet have a timeline or scope for it. I am open to contribution but let's get on the same page as to timing and scope first.

I created a 8.x-1.x branch so you can fork and get to work if the answer is "now and all of the same functionality"

Cool beans. Not one of mine, but one of the teams that I work with a lot will be working on this soon for another group on campus. Thanks for making the branch. I will encourage them to connect with you, and sync up with SWS's plans.

Checking back in again.

@zchandler, we have opened up a new project (in github) and have created a number of new issues (in github) that are available for picking up. We hope to be announcing it soon.
