Hi, we discussed OAuth many times... but - what's the current status? Do we have working extensions which support using OpenID in order to login to mediawiki, or OAuth? So that you can login using your google account or such? I believe that WMF is working on this, so can we have some update? I know that english wikipedia community hates facebook and basically anything new :P but if not wikipedia at least many small wikis could use it. Thanks

Just last week there was a thread about this. Extension:OpenID is under active development, but I think it could be ready for deployment in the near future (if not right now). *--* *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2015 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com | tylerromeo(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Yes. It *is* stable, at least since I took over the maintenance a long time ago. This does not say, that it cannot be further improved. Currently I am very busy adding new necessary features to the user interface (preferences), which can already be seen at http://openid-wiki.instance-proxy.wmflabs.org/wiki/ . Some new patches are in the pipe and will be published in the next days. The manual page is fully reflecting the current status. I am always looking for developers who install the extension in their wikis and send us their feedback - and file bug reports if needed. Tom Maintainer of E:OpenID

As far as I know, that extension is pending a full review before it lands on the Wikimedia cluster.

Those discussions are unrelated to using OpenID as a client, though. *--* *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2015 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com | tylerromeo(a)gmail.com

As I've mentioned before. I'm the one championing OpenID support on the sites and I have no current plans on enabling OpenID as a consumer. Making authentication changes is difficult. We're focusing on OpenID as a provider and OAuth support right now, and that's way more than enough to try to do this quarter. - Ryan
