Hello all,
I wonder if I could do a quick informal poll - of those of you with
wiki engines that support logins, how many have considered/are
considering/have implemented OpenID support?
There's been some good movement recently in the OpenID world, but some
of the larger players haven't fully committed themselves (i.e.,
producing OpenID URIs, but not consuming them). Every additional app
to support the idea puts a little more pressure on them, and as wikis
are a widely distributed application, there's potential to produce a
massive effect. (If anything, being able to move from wiki to wiki
with a single login reminds me, in a way, of the old sister sites
idea.)
I'm pleased to see that PBWiki is already there - see this interesting
post from Chris Messina.
