The document describes the goals, activities, deliverables and milestones for the development. It also gives some background on the intended locations of the files to be installed, system configuration modifications and any other pertinent information.
###Goals
-The primary goal is to allow users to install the libraries on a computer running Mac OS X without needing to build them from source. Once installed, the libraries can be used to provide authentication services to programs which use them.
+The primary goal is to allow users to install, in a single operation, everything they need to start using Moonshot. This includes:
+
+* the Moonshot GSS EAP library;
+* the SASL GS2 Library;
+* the (re-architected) Identity Selector software (currently referred to a moonshout-ui).
+
+The installer for the Identity Selector software will be delivered as part of the implementation of the architectural changes to the software (due 31st December), so the current task will deliver only the first two.
+
+We will deliver this goal incrementally, by developing sub-packages for cyrus_SASL, Moonshot EAP library and Identity selector, and combining them into a meta-package.

Secondary goals are
1. To allow developers and users who are familiar with the Mac OS build tools chain to install, as well as build, the libraries using these tools on a computer running Mac OS X. (This is currently possible for the Cyrus SASL library and plugins, but not for the Moonshot GSS EAP library).
-
-2. To automate (as far as possible) and document the process, allowing Moonshot project developers to easily produce installer packages for future versions of these libraries.

###Deliverables:
1. Changes to files if required to allow the Moonshot GSS EAP library to be installed, as well as built, under Mac OS using autotools.
2. An installer package (or packages) that, when run, will install the necessary files to the required places in the files system. (See Outstanding questions/issues 1).
3. A compressed disk image file containing the installer package(s), which can be mounted to run the installer package. (See Outstanding questions/issues 2)
-4. Instructions and scripts for creating the installers and disk images from source. PackageMaker, (the tool provided by Apple to build installer packages - see Ref. 2) does not have a command line interface, and there do not appear to be any freely available alternatives which do, so it will probably not be possibly to automate the production of the installer package(s).
+4. Instructions and scripts for creating the installers and disk images from source. The scripts will use the [*packagemaker* tool](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/packagemaker.1.html) to build the installer packages and the [*hdiutil* tool](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/hdiutil.1.html#//apple_ref/doc/man/1/hdiutil) to create and to manipulate disk images.
###Activities and Milestones
1. Build and install the Cyrus SASL GS2 Library for Mac OS using autotools to prove this currently works and that it is a valid goal for the Moonshot GSS EAP library. Due Wednesday 16th November.
