That is not the axes I was describing.. I was not talking about the issue of shrea/duplicated infrastructure but the issue from the user perspective... well from _this_ user perspective. 1/ there is a need of an auth step 2/ that involve a key and/or a user/password 3/ where google openid is a big win for me is that, if I am already logged-in to gmail, then I get gerrit login for 'free' no additional user/password to type. 4/ having a tdf openid (or any other openid for that matter) is negating that benefit unless I am already logged in to another service sharing that openid.. Which I do not. So your mileage may vary, but for me, if it is not gmail centric then there is no difference between openid and a regular user/password scheme. 5/ if it is just a matter of having a 'shared' openid, hosted by an open source project.. then, as Bjoern mentioned, there is already launchpad to fulfill that function. it already exist, is widely used, has to have a well supported and maintained infra behind it that guarantee a very high uptime, and has already strong incentive to make sure the thing is as secured as it can be... I do not see the point of re-inventing the wheel. we have better things to do with our infra than indulge in NIH syndrome. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
