Description
One differentiating feature of PP can be the OpenID authentication (which we are using here at pp.org).
There is some prebuild code at http://www.openidenabled.com/openid/libraries/.
To be postponed until after the release of PP 0.8. Just thinking out loud.. I wonder how this would function for installations that are hidden behind corporate firewalls?
The OpenID protocol is decentralized so that anyone can become an OpneID provider. So why shouldn't a (large) corporation should not set up it's own OpenID server for it's various internal services (think IBM).
But this also means we should provide both Log-In possibilities at the same time (like Drupal does). I don't like the way 37s did implement it in Basecamp - there you only have either - or.
There is an OpenID implementation in another aC fork (based on Ruby on Rails) which looks good. Please see http://www.projectpier.org/node/158.
+1 on openid support!
