In Sakai, the GroupProvider provides user / role membership in a group, from an external system. We are currently involved in a project that implements GroupProvider to allow the members of a federated administration workspace to manage the worksites created inside that federated administration worksite. More on that in future posts. Here I'd like to briefly give a few pointers about implementing your own GroupProvider.

In de Alane Suite berekenen we de moeilijkheid van tekst op basis van hoe vaak de woorden in de tekst voorkomen. Een tekst met alleen veelvoorkomende woorden is gemakkelijker dan een tekst met weinig voorkomende woorden. Hierop baseren wij de berekening van de moeilijkheid van teksten voor de Alane Nieuwslezer. Het woord "de" is makkelijker dan het woord "allengs". Het eerste woord komt vaker voor, dus kom je het vaker tegen, dus is de kans dat je weet wat het betekent groter. Dat is dus de theorie, en in de praktijk blijkt dat prima te werken.
