Hi all,
on my talk page, [[User:Pathoschild]] raised the idea of allowing OpenID authentication to operate toolserver tools that currently rely on TUSC. While I'd rather go for browserID [1] (not mutually exclusive), it raised the point of which authentication is "good enough" for using some toolserver tools, especially those that edit or upload on Wiki(m|p)edia projects.
Would these non-TUSC accounts need to be linked to Wiki(m|p)edia user names? If so, how would this be done? If Wiki(m|p)edia were to provide openID/browserID authentication, it would be a non-issue, but as it stands, this would need to be done on the toolserver in some form, which would most likely be more cumbersome than the current TUSC account creation.
Ideas?
Magnus
