I think what Christian proposes is a win win for opensim and existing social networks. We can easily expand to their entire user base while the social networks can offer OpenSim as extension to their services. Making that one extra account can be a deal breaker for many normal users. One click and SSO from their favorite network is preferable :).
We should note that use profile is not same thing as user identity. While user identity (id, name, nickname...) can become from for example existing social network site opensim profile can still be stored in opensim service. Federated identity is about collecting all these different bits and pieces from social networks, other sites and opensim to one unified profile. In practice all applications will have some legacy profile pieces while some parts of the data will hopefully be exposed through standard profile services. -tommi _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev
