As for being an OpenID provider... only one major thought: Having this 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?

The biggest immediate benefit to becoming a provider is for non-MediaWiki based apps that the foundation uses. If we become a provider, our Wordpress, Bugzilla, Ideatorrent, etc. apps don't need to have separate username/password databases.
Assuming all of these actually support OpenID as consumers, without annoying limitations. Do they?
