[OpenID] [WG-ULX] New login UI prototype; please kick the tires

Brian,

Sure.  One fine immediate large example is the Shibboleth 2 Wiki itself.  If you:

A) Go to https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/SHIB2/Home
B) Click "Login"
C) Start typing, e.g. "London", or "California", etc.

you'll see what the experience is like with a few thousand identity sources and an ugly GUI.  Combine that with some of the early imbedding work done by a variety of DS implementations (good example at http://www.switch.ch/aai/support/serviceproviders/sp-embedded-wayf.html ), and the Kantara-ULX GUI work, and I think the union will be a pretty good intermediate solution.

>From there, we've got a lot of work on to help a lot of service providers make the transition, but I feel very glad that we finally have something I'm comfortable suggesting they use.

Take care,
Nate.
