Open source ID management API - Higgins

A new kid in the ID Management Block - Higgins. Good news is that Higgins is Open Source and I hope it is stable and secure
To a user, Higgins will group identities into a profile where they can view and change information in one place, rather than updating multiple systems --> I like this feature.
For developers, identities are in contexts; an LDAP context would include the users in your company directory, along with metadata describing relationships between them. For each context the plug-in provides services that allow the framework to communicate with that identity system, so for LDAP you’ll have services both for the LDAP server and for LDAP client applications.
