Hoi,
According to the website of myopenid [1], they are closing down Februari 1.
My hope was for the Wikimedia Foundation to come to the rescue and provide
a non commercial alternative to what Google and Facebook offer.
I am extremely disappointed that we are not. I hope that what is done
instead has at least a similar impact than leaving it all to the commercial
boys and girls. Privacy should not be left to commerce and national secret
services.
Thanks,
GerardM
