I suggest, as a project for our paid contractors
- to develop a MediaWiki extension similar to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID
- using the new open source "PERSONA" scheme

What use does this have to WMF?
BrowserID/Persona currently requires JavaScript to function. So it really doesn't fit the kind of thing that we support as a standard way to login.
I don't think it's a very good use of WMF's funding.
