Only seven months ago when I was in Mountain View for the earlier IIW2006, there were a couple demos of near-working implementations and a lot [...]

Also tagged OpenID, textdriveI wrote to Evan Prodromou yesterday – after staring at the MediaWiki code for about an hour trying to figure out how to write an extension.

Also tagged extension, mediawiki, MicroID, wikipediaI noticed a couple days ago that one of our claimID users (and Yahoo! employee), lmorchard, had successfully claimed his del.icio.us page with a MicroID.

ClaimID utilizes OpenID, a standards-based [...]
Also tagged janrain, OpenID, oscon, verisignClaimID has been my muse the past few weeks again, due to my overhauling of the account system to make all our accounts OpenIDs. This makes available to our users the ability to verify themselves at any OpenID-enabled site on the internet. It also allows claimID to act as the first aggregator of these public [...]
