OpenID and OpenSocial support would both give us a nice boost, I think.
At a recent web conference I talked with a guy named Simon Willison who I
believe may have already been in contact with you about the possibilities
of an OpenID implementation for JSPWiki. I explained how much of a win-win
that would be for JSPWiki and OpenID (with JSPWiki being the Apache wiki),
and tried to impress upon him the idea that if there was an OpenID
implementation within the next six months we'd be able to use it in our
online JSPWiki-based service when it goes online. It would also save us
the trouble of having to deal with the alternatives, which are complicated
and have their own issues.
I also suggested that if he knew of anyone with some spare cycles that
they would be well-spent on a JSPWiki implementation. With OpenID now
advocated by OpenSocial this looks even more promising.
