 Well, AIUI Google's whole point of getting the students connected
 months ago was so they could join the projects and so forth.

 If there are any students who haven't got their FAS account ... why? Etc.

 Google mainly wants the students to fit in with the project, under our
 own regular processes.  Where they exert influence is in, for example,
 requiring the students to work on their own code and not be a a team
 working on a module, etc.  I presume this is mainly to let them tie
 expenditure to effort directly, without team effects.

This is more or less 'it' in a nutshell.  There is one extra
requirement that they have a uploadable set of files, mainly for legal
reasons.  That's pretty much all there is to it.

In my case, I've asked pavel to email me patches for git.  The
reasoning is that we'll have a log of emails complete with files that
can be tarballed and submitted to Google easily.  I've asked him not
to ask for permission to participate in our git instance, although he
really does need to sign up for our trac.  He also needs to be signed
up for the wiki, and a few mailing lists.  His participation is
supposed to be the same as anyone else's with the notable exception of
the 'hgsmolt' group.

 Side note about this, it seems to have broken OpenID support.  I've
 reverted to a default configuration so ricky can continue testing.  If
 you've got a moment could you hook up with him at some point and find out
 exactly what configuration is causing the problem?

I checked the file listing in the OpenID packages and I bet the
open_basedir wasn't letting the OpenID stuff have access to the files
it needed.  I can modify that and allow access to those directories it
most likely needs.

It's a trip to the zoo day with the kids, but I will cross paths with
Ricky later today/this evening and get this sorted out.

Thanks!

I don't know enough about the MediaWiki OpenID plugin to know if that

You can only allow or deny certain OpenID servers, as far as I can tell.

Correct.

 However, OpenID could be a good way to get permissions to Talk: pages.
 That is a great way to get feedback from drive-bys, the kind of people
 who might take advantage of an OpenID to make a minor change on a
 page.


nod I looked briefly into this but haven't totally come to a solution
yet.

 Content in Talk: could be treated procedurally as we do bug reports.
 Maybe we can have a WikiLicense type of thing (FedoraProject:Copyrights
 link enough?) for that?  Either way, Talk: could be a discussion area,
 cf. mailing lists and bugzilla, that may produce content.  If someone
 gives specific wording and we want to use it, and now or later modify
 it, redistribute it, etc., it needs to be under the CLA and site
 license.  This is comparable to receiving a patch via bugzilla where the
 contributor should include licensing text.


Yeah, this is both a question for legal and a question to see what is
technically feasible.  OpenID is great, but once again the CLA continues
to be the biggest blocker to growing our contributor base.
