Would this be a useful and simple way to provide cohesion within our community if one of the bigger members (GBIF, TDWG, EoL etc) acted as an Open ID provider?
I know there were presentations on Shibboleth at TDWG 2007.
OpenID seems simpler but does no authorization I believe (it is just an ID solution). Could the two be integrated for those who need to share notions of authorization...
I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts on this.
