Declined speedy for a PHP protocol. Not convinced of notability, most of what Google turned up was documentation from the software's producers and a review in someone's blog; no non-trivial, secondary sources. Google news turned up zero hits. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 05:40, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
simpleSAMLphp is being used for some big federations: as an example, the Danish University Federation (Wayf) is completely implemented with simpleSAMLphp. Unfortunately, the web page of WAYF (https://www.wayf.dk/) doesn't say their implemented solution was simpleSAMLphp, wven though I heard on the Terena conferences that is (although you could consider that biased, coming from a simpleSAMLphp's developer).
Anyway, I found an interesting source: http://www.projectliberty.org/liberty/news_events/iddy_awards the Liberty Alliance (a well-established name, I'd say) gave the IDDY award to UNNINET for the implementation of simpleSAMLphp. I guess that's a good external source! I'll add some more info to the wiki. Again, I am just trying to help here, because I noticed that this article didn't exist and I thought I could create at least a little one to help people.

Actually it is not slightly biased. Liberty Alliance is a well-established name, completely separated from Feide (who developed simpleSAMLphp), so I don't agree that it's biased. What I said was biased was the claim that Wayf was done with simpleSAMLphp, since it comes from the talk of a simpleSAMLphp's developer at the Terena conference. I'll try adding more sources later like you suggested, but at the moment I am a bit busy! Blink0gmailcom (talk) 09:50, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the bust out Andreas :-) I was going to let you guys know I started your wiki entry, just so you would know and also so you could provide some more info, if you wanted. I just thought that simpleSAMLphp deserves a wiki entry ;-) When I have time I'll try integrating some of what you mentioned on the page, but I really don't have so much (you can say "any" actually) experience with editing wikipedia... Not that it's very hard, I can just copy the structure of some other entry, but still... Not quite sure what would be a good struct, maybe a "Prizes/Nominations" heading? I mean it's not common to have a wiki entry just listing the prizes and stuff, I guess some other info and that as a complement (and as good external sources Mr Senseless wants ;-). PS: Nice presentation at Terena Andreas! Blink0gmailcom (talk) 00:45, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
