I have revised the AIS client module and the new version is driving the signin of the tool at
http://tipjar.com/rcgi/featurematrix/matrix (the new code is more robust than the old, which would do endless loops if you didn't have cookies on.) my question for module authors list is, what is a good interface for letting the identity out? Here is what I'm going with at the current time: use AISclient (optional parameters); you put that line near the beginning of your one-off CGI and it either exits or you get a valid e-mail address imported into your package in a variable called $AIS_IDENTITY and a persistent stash for any use called %AIS_STASH I would like to hear from people who use idenity and session modules in web services about what interfaces they like, if there is a de-facto standard interface that it would be good to mimick. Another issue is how much data about the identities to collect and distribute with each sign-in. Things like firstname initial lastname grooviness rating current available buying power and so on. I set up a mailing list for discussion of the project at http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tjais-dev David Nicol -- david nicol The elves have left the building
