OpenID bounty - could WebsiteBaker be eligible?

Hi Argos,

why don't you post a feature request for WB3 on the project page ... but remember the anti-spam measures!

cheers

*BUMP*

OpenID has steadily gained in popularity the last few years. Many well known CMS's use it already. Maybe it's worth while checking out if WB could use it.

I looked into OpenID about a year ago and it looked very promising - possibly going to be a feature of WB3.

How big is WebsiteBaker?  Big enough to win a $5000 bounty? Are there any published statistics?

OpenID has gotten some bounty money to promote the open standard (and many open source implementations in many languages) that lets you:

- use one ID on multiple websites
- use ONE SECURE password on multiple websites - without each one storing your password
- AND still decide which pieces of personal info each site will be given.
- I believe it gives you single-sign on as well (sign into site1 and you don't have to sign into site2)

Livejournal uses it (mostly for comments), AOL now apparently, and even Verisign lets you create a free OpenId (called PIP).

Lots of sample code, even a server so you can run your own
