Just a quick question if it is planned to integrate any sort of OpenID support in Wookie? Maybe with a call to the REST API before instantiating a widget?

Hi Bernhard,I hadn't thought of integrating OpenID in Wookie, however I would very much like to have oAuth support in Wookie so that a Widget requiring access to a remote service could request oAuth authorization by the user to the remote service via Wookie in a similar manner to how Shindig supports this capability.
For authentication, Wookie assumes that applications authenticate users, as this is how we assume concerns are separated - a single Wookie server can support multiple applications, potentially in different organisations, and so we do not implement authentication concerns.
Maybe some use-cases could help articulate how an OpenID feature might work?
