Yeah, but on the flip side, OpenID specializes authentication as a Web service. Until now, since every site had to implement its own authentication, we only got the lowest common denominator: username/password. Specialization means that ID providers can use better AuthC techniques. I started certifi.ca to use only client-side SSL certificates -- strong cryptography for almost foolproof authentications. And there's no password, ever, so very little chance of phishing. I think it's better to have a few players working on good authentication implementations rather than having millions of half-baked systems waiting to be hacked or phished.

@rickvug: I'm the MediaWiki developer who implemented OpenID for MediaWiki. It's implemented as an extension, not in the MW core, since it depends on external libraries and that's just the way MW dev policy works. You can see more info on the extension here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID I would have liked to have got the $5K bounty (for a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation) from iwantmyopenid.com, but they only give it out if you include OpenID in the core, which is kind of unlikely for most projects.

Wikipedia announced support last summer, but it hasn't yet been implemented (they're busy implementing a single sign-on solution internally for their 600 wikis first).

Hi. Pardon my English; I don't speak Catalan (which is sad, because I think it's a beautiful language). Anyways, I'm excited to hear that you're soliciting to get a Catalan Wikitravel version in place. I will watch the new expedition closely, and once the conditions are met (3 participants, 1 bilingual liaison), I'll set up the new wiki and we can get started.
