Hi everyone,
An update to the microformats wiki is finally ready to go live
(updating to the new build of mediawiki, plus some new theming
features and plug-ins).
Good luck with the switchover! Any chance of openid for logins in
the new version?
Adding OpenID support was something I was really keen to do, and has
been a long running requested feature. However, the current state of
the OpenID extension for MediaWiki is overkill for us. The plug-in
that's available transforms the wiki into a full on OpenID _provider_,
and we don't want the maintenance/responsibility cost of doing that.
We just want login support.
So the task has been deferred pending someone writing a super-simple
OpenIDLogin plugin, or dedicating longer to the existing extension and
getting it installed properly. It might not take that long to do the
latter, but it's a more substantial installation than other
extensions, so I'm preferring to get the current work released with a
view to adding it later.
Given the way in which microformats.org is spread across multiple
platforms (the wordpress blog, mediawiki, various API kits hosted on
Google and elsewhere), I'm certainly very keen to have OpenID as a
feature on everything we do.
New features are approximately listed on the microformats todo list
here: http://microformats.org/wiki/todo#Wiki_2.0 and will be
documented more thoroughly on the wiki itself when we do the upgrade.
