[Ssc-dev] Authentication, Authorization and Architecture

[Lee Azzarello]

I have some colleagues in this field but I would need to know the

some of the different clients for InformaCam and it looks like there
will be a clear "low end" and "high end". This is a compelling case to
develop components that can be installed for different levels of
complexity.
