CHANGELOG.txt or someone could port the openID server to D6 and we'll have a great story to tell these upgraders. interested parties should see the 4.7 version at http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/openid/?pathrev.... james - any progress since then?

Is drupal.org going to use it?

Hello World,
After discussions about the state of Drupal module, it turned out that:
- drupal module does two things: phone home to a central server and distributed authentication - drupal.org does not collect any information submitted with drupal.module, so the phone home has no reason to live in Drupal itself - Drupal 6 is going to ship with OpenID which is much more secure, so there is no requirement to keep shipping Drupal module with Drupal (but it should be made available for users looking for an upgrade path) - Drupal module was misnamed, its namespace collides with built-in system level functions
So after looking at all this, it was decided that Drupal module needs to go out of core. At http://drupal.org/node/178768 we discussed the future and suggested names. Because all features are kept for now, the new name is site_network. Anyone looking for this functionality will find the project at http://drupal.org/project/site_network from now. Andy Kirkham (aka AjK) volunteered to maintain the module and moved the existing drupal.module issues to the new project.
All-in-all I hope this improves the privacy (no useless phone-home feature to explain) and security (no password tunneling) of Drupal 6.
