I've got a request/proposal for a feature add-in to work on (or perhaps 
it's already available?).

I work in a University where we have an existing login/authentication 
system that validates users for access to selected resources.  This is 
implemented via pubcookie authentication.

I would like to use bricolage to implement a cms for a departmental 
website so that professors, researchers and other folks can create and 
edit content that will end up on the website.  It would be great if we 
could integrate the existing pubcookie authentication with bricolage so 
that existing university users can simply log in using their own id and 
password and not have to remember a new one.

Beyond expanding brics authentication to work with pubcookie, perhaps 
there are other existing auth systems that could be rolled in?

I'm a student at this school as well as an employee, and would love to get 
some cash for working on this (although I'm part time-doctoral level). 
Would I be eligible?

Warning: I am a new bric user, so I don't even know if this type of 
service already exists, I'm just shooting from the hip over a lunch break 
here.  If I'm totally off, just let me know.

Thanks tons,

Cris Ewing
