This is a list of all the things I can’t wait to get done with PamelaWare. I’ve organized these items into three categories – critical, important, and merely nice. If you disagree with my prioritization, please comment here.
Critical
- Obfuscate the certificate passphase so that it isn’t visible in the gui.
- Get the plugin working with WordPress 2.1 (done! thanks to Pat Felsted)
- Provision, store & use both username/password data and information card data (this is critical for anyone who has an already existing user base)
- Add admin ability to view & (most importantly) prune the contents of the infocard_audit table.
- Figure out why the plugin can’t handle the Firefox plugins when no token is returned (somehow the POST looks different from IE, not sure why yet).
Important
- Alter debug functions to show an “under maintenance” static page to users while either printing debug information only to a secure IP address, or printing the information to a file.
- Add Admin ability to write and publish a privacy statement.
- Add Admin ability to choose the time validity window.
- Add Admin ability to turn debugging on and off from the console.
Nice
- Make the CSS pretty
- Make login fit with WordPress template
- Figure out how to preemptively know when the server isn’t time-synched.

Well It does work….
I would add a HOWTO for people to get started with using an CardSpace enabled site.
With your help it took me nearly an hour and a half to get logged in. Now admitdaly I may be not the best test user but you should post a 1 page HOWTO use CardSpace with the tools you have created.
Good point Don.
I will do so – both here on this blog, and also on pamelaproject.com.
Thanks for the feedback.
Ok – I think that this is proof that even I can figure this out. Again with your help I’ve managed to get firefox to do the right thing with CardSpace. -
Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks.
Any chance there will be a release for WP 2.3 any time soon?
