I've been thinking about this issue quite a bit since there's a possibility we could use OpenID for Gerrit. With Gerrit, there's a very manual conversion cost when switching authn/ authz mechanisms...at least if people want to keep their existing account (with its settings, contribs, etc). I'm curious if other tools like BZ have similar switching costs. -Chad _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
