That seems reasonable to me, and I'll make the change shortly baring any
major objections.  Tom, I realize you wanted this content on the oasis-open
wiki but based on the differing intent of the two sites that Carol mentions
below and Mary discusses at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/200801/msg00015.html,
I believe that the xml.org site is the more appropriate location.

That link just had a extraneous character on the end of it which was
resulting in the broken link.  I've fixed "moved page" at
wiki.oasis-open.org/security/SAMLOpenSourceImplementations to correctly link
to http://saml.xml.org/saml-open-source-implementations.

I realize that there are a variety of opinions on the two wiki's and I feel
most of the comments and concerns are quite valid.  However, and maybe I'm
just being naïve here, I think that if we use the guidelines Carol mentions
here, it's not unreasonable to have, use and maintain the two.  I'll add an
element to the agenda to discuss this (again) tomorrow.
