Strange. I've got the OpenID plugin running on the MediaWiki install on getsemantic. It's unreliable, but it doesn't turn the site into being an OpenID provider, AFAIK. When I've next got a minute, I'll dig through the installed version and extract the relevant files. OpenID support on the wiki would definitely be practicing the openness we preach. -- Tom Morris http://tommorris.org/ _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
