Gerrit releases often and every release is quite better than the last.

I can cover some of thse:

This is an open source database manager for MySQL databases - it won't work
for what you want.
*SAML
*OpenID
From the page you link it looks like you know about these two; i.e. they
act as sign in gateways.
OpenID is more indie, SAML is more

You should only consider SAML and OpenID. More exactly, you should

@ Ryan, If you say SAML is the best approach, then that's what we'll use.
OpenID can be a backup for those that are not SAML compatible for some reason.

The wikipedia's captcha is a great opportunity for getting '''useful'' work

This is now called a [[game with a purpose]].
I think we can ideally use it to help:

* translate articles fragments using geo-location of editors.
I can get all the categories with the Parser Output, but I can´t add or
delete a category.
I'm using updateCategoryCounts() in LinksUpdate but it doesn't work.
