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 :)
I understand *what* people want to do with it. What I don't understand is *why. What benefit does OpenID provide over just registering with your usual user name and password at any site? If there's an advantage, it would make sense to find some resources to implement this ability. But without some clarity on that, it's rather difficult to justify spending time on that. So what's your hope for what enabling OpenID will accomplish?
