The OpenId authenticator and provider already works pretty well based in the current not very clean authentication api with some hack because Markus did not had choice to do this otherwise. I just did not had time to integrate it yet in the trunk but Raffaello Pelagalli started do to some test with it to integrate between http://l10n.xwiki.org and xwiki.org farms (l10n is on its own instance of XWiki). See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2630 , http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2588 and http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XSALBATROSS-34 > > -Vincent > > On Feb 4, 2009, at 8:04 AM, Niels Mayer wrote: > >> For some strange reason, I think this is an excellent idea :-) >> >> Of these, which has the easiest to integrate: >> http://www.google.com/friendconnect/ >> http://developers.facebook.com/connect.php >> http://developer.myspace.com/Community/blogs/devteam/archive/2008/12/09/introducing-the-myspace-open-platform-and-myspaceid.aspx >> >> Friendconnect has always looked most interesting of the lot, since >> it will >> give you a variety of customizable friendconnect "widgets" .
