Is there a downloadable version of the latest DiscoJuice?

I'd like to run a fully-standalone discovery service that has no dependencies on any of the discojuice.org systems.  The current documentation has the browser pulling the discojuice javascript files from discojuice.org.  I saved copies of discojuice-stable.min.js and idpdiscovery.js locally, and pointed at those locally, however it still pulls in the IDP logos from static.discojuce.org, and contacts store.discojuice.org.

Also, is there code available to generate the JSON data that DiscoJuice needs from a standard XML metadata file?

I'd like to run a fully-standalone discovery service that has no dependencies on any of the discojuice.org systems.  The current documentation has the browser pulling the discojuice javascript files from discojuice.org.  I saved copies of discojuice-stable.min.js and idpdiscovery.js locally, and pointed at those locally, however it still pulls in the IDP logos fromstatic.discojuce.org, and contacts store.discojuice.org.

The current version of DiscoJuice is heavily foused on a centrally hosted environment, around discojuice.org. This is intended.

You are one of very many that have requested the possibility of running DiscoJuice in your own environment. 

The plans forward for DiscoJuice is quite open at the moment, there are people wanting it to take each of these directions:
- like you're requesting; focusing on local deployments and no requirements on a central cloud service
- collaboration on hosting discojuice.org for educational institutions
- incorporating new ideas into DiscoJuice and providing a new version. In particular integration with accountchooser needs to be explored.

I'm working on some other projects at the moment, and DiscoJuice development is put on hold until we have made an agreement on what direction to take :) Feedback on that is very welcome.

Kind regards,
Andreas

That's what the ArnesAAI is very much interested in.

Clouds are overrated. Sure they are cute and cheap... but so are Chinese
cars :P.

Even if DiscoJuice development is officially on hold, making the sources available would allow others to work with the code, and possibly contribute changes back to you. I would like to evaluate it for use here, but as a cloud-only solution I am far less interested. Having a critical part of our authentication infrastructure dependent on an external service, especially one without any sort of uptime agreement, would be a scary proposition.
