I have long been in favor of adding OpenID support to JSPWiki for the
3.0 release. That is part of the reason I want to get a quick Apache
release done for 2.8 -- the sooner we can do that, the sooner we can
do fun stuff like OpenID in 3.0.
Coincidentally, I read Simon's blog regularly...

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.
