Hello world, take a look at http://iwantmyopenid.org/. "Soon we will be granting $5,000 USD directly to ten open-source projects that successfully implement OpenID." I talked to Scott Kveten (CEO of Janrain) and Corey Shields (OSL) and they would be willing to wire the $5,000 USD directly to OSL so they can buy us an additional machine, something which we might need in the near future. I think this makes for a good opportunity to implement OpenID into Drupal core, and to get rid of our own distributed authentication framework. We talked about this earlier, and I believe there was a consensus about the fact we should adopt a standard. I believe that OpenID is they way to go so even without a bounty it would be of "strategic importance". Thoughts? -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
