The login form should be properly implemented as a FormSpecialPage. I have some initial code drafted for that if you want. The only big problem is supporting the various hooks in the current form. *--* *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2015 Major in Computer Science

BrowserID/Persona currently requires JavaScript to function. So it really doesn't fit the kind of thing that we support as a standard way to login. I don't think it's a very good use of WMF's funding. Is this the begin of a clash of civilisations between WMF and MediaWiki ?

What use does this have to WMF? I think we make a lot of cool features that require JavaScript. And yes, it's not universally usable, but it's helpful to spend time on those things, because while they may not make Lynx [0] users happier, they'll probably make things easier for, e.g., people
