Re: Re: What's OSuser status?

OK, here's the deal:

* The latest, KNOWN WORKING code is still the osuser module (no sandbox).
This is probably the "most current"
* Mike started his own OSUser2 drive, wrote code, checked it in, and then SF
CVS crashed and that's the last I've heard. Mike?
* David Smiley is the owner the the sandbox/osuser stuff -- it's a rewrite
and the interfaces are there but no implementations are in place. It's been
dormant for a while, but David has started to pick it up again and he
recently checked some stuff in (I don't know what).
* Paul Hammant did a spike on the current stuff and refactored it -- no
rewrite. He emailed us the code but we haven't done anything yet with it and
there are still ongoing discussions.

OK, with that said, I have no idea what to do. I want to migrate _one_ of
the above to java.net and let the rest die. Any ideas which? I'm leaning
towards Paul's code because it's a refactor of code i KNOW works, but
incorporate some of the ideas that David also addressed and allows for
better testability. I'm hoping that if we did that Mike, David, Paul, and
many others would be able to work together on a single source tree.
