Hi,
I'm done with initial implementation of Identity Providers UI for OpenID MediaWiki Extension.
Extension now shows a user-friendly (although my design skills are far from perfect) form where they can pick from a list of OpenID providers (generic OpenID URL form is still default).
You can see it in action here: http://www.mediawikiwidgets.org/Special:OpenIDLogin http://www.techpresentations.org/Special:OpenIDLogin (without icons - I'll enable them later)
After some discussions and concerns here on the list, I implemented it in the way that provider logos don't show up by default and if you would like to show them on your site, you have to add:
$wgOpenIDShowProviderIcons = true;
to your LocalSettings.php
Hope you like it, but I'm still open to suggestions about improving the interface so you all finally install it on your wikis ;)
Thank you,
Sergey

There's a double escape on the confirmation page which redirects to the OID provider ("continue")... unfortunately it redirected to myopenid too fast to CnP the page. And, I can't choose the case spelling of my nick (it's "harddisk" on OID), normally it shoulda be "HardDisk", but I think this is an OpenID-related problem - anyway, it'd be cool if you could make an additional field for the user to input desired username.
Besides that, it's ENORMOUSLY cool.

This was in i18n file for some reason - I changed it.

Where is this happening? Is it related to this bug? https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17654
It's very possible that your provider returns lowercase nickname and MediaWiki user is automatically created.
Besides that, it's ENORMOUSLY cool.
It was actually there all the time, all I did is added a better UI.
There are more things to change to improve how OpenID integration works - I already entered a few feature-bugs: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&product...

Indeed, this is the error... but (also in order to avoid name collision) it 'd be nice for people to choose their own username.

Yep, the bug I mentioned is exactly about this - to let people pick the name where it's done automatically at this point.

Hoi, Mediawikiwidgets breaks when you do NOT want to login using OpenID..
I tried to install OpenID in one of my test environments and I failed at that. This is because I did not understand how to install all the php extras that are needed. Thanks, GerardM
