A few of us in the community (myself, Chris Messina, David Recordon,
Brian Ellin, et al) have been working to get the OpenID project on
Google Code setup. Right now it is in a reserved status to ensure that
no one other than the OpenID Foundation gets ahold of it. I think
everything is ready to go at this point, we just need the green light
from the board. Our immediate plans for the Google Code project are:
- house the source code for the openid.net website in a version
control system, both for transparency and security
- as Brian mentioned in this post[0] to the new OpenID Code mailing
list, JanRain has committed to moving their libraries (currently hosted
at openidenabled.com) to this new project space so that we have a single
home for all of the development.
- I don't actually recall if we discussed moving the content currently
housed at svn.openid.net to the new project space. I assume that we
will at some point, but we can certainly wait on that if there is
objection or concern about that.
Initially, we'd like to have the four of us (myself, Chris, David, and
Brian) set as admins for the Google Code project at least while we get
things setup. This can certainly be adjusted down the road as necessary.
Are there any objections to moving forward with this?
I don't really like the idea of having all of these things in one source
code repository.
For one thing, it'll be difficult to give someone commit access to the
python library without giving them commit access to the website, etc.
It also makes it easier to pull things out into git/svk/whatever
repositories if they're split out.
Does Google Code support multiple repositories for a single project? If
not, I would strongly encourage either making a separate project for
each distinct library and the website or finding another solution.
Certainly I think it's very likely that the website and the libraries
will be maintained by different people, and it also seems very likely
that the libraries for each language will be maintained by different
folks in future even if they aren't already. There's also the
Net::OpenID libraries for Perl which currently live in a repository at
Six Apart.
(As a historical note also has the original OpenID website in it which
has been an annoyance to me since it comes along for the ride whenever I
make a branch. I intend to delete the website it at some point. I'd hate
to see the mistake of putting the website in the same repository as one
of more of the libraries repeated.)
