Sorry if this is old news to some, but I just saw this referenced in the SANS security newsletter and I thought the dev list might be interested: http://www.campustechnology.com/articles/58342 "Google, Microsoft, IBM, VeriSign, Yahoo Join OpenID Board" "In a move that could help deliver single sign-on to the masses, Google, Microsoft, IBM, VeriSign and Yahoo have joined a consortium that backs a common federated identity specification..." Cheers, -Derek (dww)

It's big news indeed for a closely related community! Let it be known, OpenID has some serious momentum. I'm excited about our position within that community and look forward to keeping Drupal at the front of the digital identity curve :) -- James Walker :: http://walkah.net/ :: xmpp:walkah@walkah.net
