Hello, We just launched an open source project (http://openacademic.org) centered around the use of Drupal, Moodle, Elgg, and Mediawiki in education -- we are using OpenID for SSO, with Drupal as an OpenID client -- we will be working with the existing Drupal OpenID module to make some upgrades/improvements -- we'd love to work with folks to get this done. And hey, if we can get 5000 for Drupal in the process, so much the better :) -- From reading the bounty page (http://iwantmyopenid.org/bounty), I see this: "Implement OpenID 2.0 support as a Relying Party (RP) or Identity Provider (IdP)" -- I'm assuming that for the bounty they want the app to work both as an OpenID client and server, but this seems to imply that just one would do it. Do they mean *and* instead of *or* ? Anyways -- we will be moving ahead with this development, and would welcome any folks who want to help. Cheers, Bill Dries Buytaert wrote:
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?
