Open ID support

What I want:
Open ID login support - would be awesome!  Open ID, wikis, open source software, this is the *FUTURE* of the computer world.  I say SMF should move with it and stay where it is - the very best!
Anyway, it shouldn't be hard to integrate openID support, from what I've seen - I made a preliminary attempt to integrate OpenID with my MediaWiki installation, and it wasn't very difficult.

Anybody else want this as bad as I do?

It looks interesting and would probably make a great mod.

I would think about waiting a while until the OpenID specs were 100% complete

It won't be in 1.1, however it might be in the next version

I believe this is being discussed for the next release of SMF

Seriously bad.  It would be wonderful to have OpenID! 

The SMF Dev Team may need to act fast to qualify for the hxxp:iwantmyopenid.org/bounty [nonactive] being offered to make it part of th SMF release.  I guess you're already aware of this.

I am not sure if SMF would qualify for that since it needs to be an OSI-approved license.

Correct, we wouldn't qualify as we're not OSI approved. We also wouldn't want to rush a release just to make the prize.

It's up to the SMF team if they want to be join the competition, but regardless, an OpenID feature for SMF 1.1 up will be one of the best features for SMF, and if I'm not mistaken, SMF will be the first php-forum to offer OpenID support.

I like OpenID and would be very interested in a mod for SMF1.1.8 .. :)

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen

I think this is in 2.0 :) Don't believe there is a mod to do this on 1.1.8 though. :)
