It let's you choose which provider you use, but you control your URL. When I cared, I used interi.org as my login, and if my provider ever went away I could sign up with a new one and set it as my delegated provider. If I recall, it is just a couple of meta elements. In other threads: I've used OpenID for years, but I couldn't imagine why the wikae would be using it; I don't use bots or tools that require user accounts. I still don't get it, but it isn't that important for me; if this is helpful to those folks, good luck. ^_^ maiki _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
