Hmmm, I just thought of this...

How dos Redirect compare with the Gatekeeper package? Shouldn't those be integrated or merged? If not, then should redirect superced gatekeeper (to avoid yet another redundant, non-maintained package)?

Gatekeeper seems to do more than redirect, like forward cookies.

If Redirect is going to superceed Gatekeeper, we need some upgrade path, no?

Gatekeeper does something different in my opinion - it passes the request through, and adds openacs security handling. I don't see a problem having different packages for that - actually it is less confusing this way.

Nevertheless gatekeeper could use some documentation.
