Hi Jim, Your timing is kind of unfortunate... StatusNet 0.9.x got an external Authentication system and an LDAP plugin over the last 2 weeks. I'm going to look over your code, and see what you've done better and differently than how we did it, and see what we can combine. Could you also do the same? In order to avoid this kind of thing in the future, I suggest you email this list with what you're doing, so we can all collaborate and not overlap like this. Live and learn, right? The StatusNet Authentication plugin is in plugins/Authentication, and you can find a simple example in plugins/ReverseUsernameAuthentication. We would love your input! Please feel free to join us in the IRC channel sometime, too.
