Blogo (blogs.gnome.org) will be OpenID enabled soon. This doesn't help us *too* much with SSO for all of gnome.org, unless we set up a GNOME OpenID provider and not only authenticated against it (that's the easy part) but did special *authorisation* based on having a gnome.org OpenID... That is somewhat more complicated. If we allowed people to assoicate a "foreign" OpenID with a GNOME login, that would be interesting... But would require even further authorisation hacks to work. 8) Not saying it's impossible, just pointing out that it's not a silver bullet. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2008: Melbourne, Australia http://lca2008.linux.org.au/ "When there's public debate and mass hysteria, that's when the patches roll in." - Michael Meeks _______________________________________________ gnome-web-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-web-list
