what about implementing OpenID accross some Wikimedia projects? I know this might be rather "political" than "technical" decision, but I think it would bring only positives. I tried to bring it up on Metapub and Village pump, but quite little interest was showed...
I've looked at OpenID a couple of times and I'm still unsure of the benefits it really brings. Where lies the virtue of a centralized login across many sites that have nothing in common?

Instead of logging to to Wikimedia with a foreign OpenID, I would rather like to see Wikimedia become an OpenID provider, so that I can login to other sites with a .wikimedia.org OpenID :)
There is an open bug for it and also some code in SVN.
