I believe the OpenID extension is matured to the point
where it's usable on
the Wikimedia projects, acting as an OpenID provider. The extension still
needs review and such, but I think it's a good time to discuss how we'd
like to implement this on the projects.
I, too, want to clarify: you're proposing centralizing WMF identity to
whatever extent it is not already centralized, and then using OpenID
*within MWF*: so that all WMF sites and installed extensions can auth
users against our own user database?
Not authenticating users against external OID providers (which, as nearly
as I can tell, largely amount to "I am whom I say I am"), or allowing
external non-WMF sites to authenticate against our user database.
Cheers,
