Well, we're talking about the wiki here. Not everyone using wiki.openstack.org uses review.openstack.org, and when logging into Mediawiki via OpenID you're not required to provide an E-mail address unless you want to use its E-mail notification features. Also Launchpad lets users keep their E-mail addresses private, and many of them are set that way (we discovered a bunch when trying to migrate Infra bugs to Storyboard and there are no doubt lots more associated with wiki.o.o accounts... it may even be a default LP behavior?). Further, E-mail addresses in people's OpenStackID/Foundation Member profiles are not guaranteed to be the same as in their Launchpad profiles, and often drift over time even if they started out the same. This is why I refer to any attempt to map up accounts as a "best effort" because my off-the-cuff estimate is that it will probably be around 50% effective. Given the above challenges, I question whether that's enough benefit to enough users to make it a worthwhile expenditure of effort vs. simply letting everyone know they need to log in via Launchpad OpenID and then go to https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-openid and add their OpenStackID manually if they want to keep the same account after the transition period. -- Jeremy Stanley _______________________________________________ OpenStack-Infra mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-infra
