As for being an OpenID provider... only one major

Foundation be a provider would be a lot of additional server load (It is
100% non-cacheable) without any benefit to the main goal of providing free
information.
I imagine the load wouldn't be a big deal. An OpenID server is pretty
simple, no?

non-MediaWiki based apps that the foundation uses. If we become a

to have separate username/password databases.
Assuming all of these actually support OpenID as consumers, without
annoying limitations. Do they?
