Open ID status report (and easter egg)
Is there any chance of Open ID getting into Drupal 6? The issue for this seems to be here: http://drupal.org/node/131026 The last patch is from March and no core committer has commented on it. This is supposed to be one of the killer features for Drupal 6, and it is the right thing to do. What can we do to raise awareness of the issue and build some momentum behind it? -Robert [Since this is a repost, gotta make it interesting: Thunderbird tells me that committer is misspelled, so I went to www.thefreedictionary.com to check, and found this: Com`mit´ter *n.* *1.* One who commits; one who does or perpetrates. *2.* A fornicator. #2 - LOL ]

#2 - LOL ] #2 applies when you do #1 incorrectly.
At Netscape some years ago, we had a word for doing #1 and #2 simultaneously: you were "horking" the tree. Rob

So, I have a draft post to this list with exactly this kind of update and "call to action" ... it's been slightly delayed over the past week as version 2.0 of the spec is nearing completion I've spent some time making sure our implementation is ship-shape. Essentially - all work for core has been happening in the openid module contrib project.
From my point of view - the two things really outstanding are:
* making sure "valid" accounts are created as per : http://drupal.org/node/137401 and http://drupal.org/node/137400 (which means, really doing user_register validation) ... I have a fix for this just about (say 80%) ready to commit * adding a tab to allow users to associate OpenIDs with existing accounts, multiple OpenIDs per account, remove openids, etc. (For anyone who has tried the Wordpress plugin... you may be familiar with where I'm headed here). http://drupal.org/node/143419 is related here. Both of those were on my schedule for completion last week - but as mentioned some spec-compliance cleanup was in order (plus we had a DrupalCampToronto that I got sucked into). I've been trying to hold off on my postings until they're finalized (realizing that folks are excited about the features). To anyone interested in having a look - Grab the HEAD branch of the openid contrib project and have a look, patches are more than welcome to the openid contrib module (I've had some great ones already from folks). Heh. And I guess that covers most of my upcoming post.. but I will keep the list notified as things progress. :) -- James Walker :: http://walkah.net/ :: xmpp:walkah@walkah.net
