Let me just toss in my two cents and say that I really don't like OpenID for primary authentication. It seems to make a lot more sense for secondary auth (like LiveJournal does, for instance). I really don't want to see a conversion to OpenID, but I'd support adding it as an option. Something like "Create your account or log in with an existing OpenID account"? I dunno. I don't know if that's what you were planning or not. What do other people think? > I'd love to add OpenID auth into the codebase and give a demo at the > tuesday beer session. Where can i get a copy of the pdx.rb code? The subversion repository is at http://svn.pdxruby.org/repos/www/trunk Check it out and do your worst :) On Tuesday, me or one of the other folks with access will get you commit privs. Ben _______________________________________________ PDXRuby mailing list [email protected] IRC: #pdx.rb on irc.freenode.net http://lists.pdxruby.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxruby
