This is a casual request for comments about the use of 3rd party authentication providers for our future Wikimedia Phabricator instance.
Wikimedia Phabricator is expected to replace Bugzilla, Gerrit and many other tools, each of them having their own registration and user account. The plan is to offer Wikimedia SUL (your Wikimedia credentials) as the default way to login to Phabricator -- details at http://fab.wmflabs.org/T40 However, Phabricator can support authentication using 3rd party providers like GitHub, Google, etc. You can get an idea at https://secure.phabricator.com/auth/start/ There are good reasons to plan for Wikimedia SUL only (consistency with the rest of Wikimedia projects), and there are good reasons to plan for other providers as well (the easiest path for most first-time contributors). What do you think? Should we offer alternatives to Wikimedia login? If so, which ones? -- Quim Gil Engineering Community Manager @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
