Well -- that's OpenID *client* support. OpenID server support is a different beast. It would be a pretty cool strategic advantage for blogging. A number of sites (including the ubiquitous LiveJournal) allow the use of OpenID for commenting. --Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Ainsley Pereira [mailto:drupaldev@pebble.org.uk] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 1:30 AM To: development@drupal.org Subject: Re: [development] OpenID On Mon, Jul 31, 2006 at 08:23:06AM +0200, Dries Buytaert wrote:
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".
Absolutely. FWIW, my site (http://www.pebble.org.uk/) is already using the drupal openid module, showing that this should be quite an easy $5K for someone :) ~Ainsley
