Why not chose the neutral option being fair for both sides instead and avoiding the issue of GNOME asking it's user to register at identify.kde.org instead? That's seems to be a much more logical choice, no? The people who advocated for this decision when it came up felt that the domain name would not make a big difference, and that the important thing was to use a well established architecture. Dave is correct; the decision was made based on established, production infrastructure, and not out of convenience. --Jeff ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

Although accounts can't be deleted, we could presumably later use that information to disable and remove credentials for those accounts. --Jeff ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

This didn't get implemented, as far as I can tell, purely for lack of manpower. OpenID still requires creating accounts locally on Drupal, but it doesn't store credentials locally. FWIW, the reason it didn't get implemented wasn't lack of manpower, it was lack of interest. I proposed it, but do not remember others finding it a good idea. --Jeff ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
