Bug 358: one login for all services

at some point there should be one login for the different public sites (OI, wiki, error tracker)

Here a couple of links I found last week during the lunch break:

The last I'll add as an attachment since it is only in the google cache for some reason.

------- Comment #1 From Philip Rutledge 2010-03-30 03:16:17 PST [reply] ------- First I think this would be a great and much welcomed addition. As a newbie I've created accounts on gcd/django, wiki, error tracker, and now tech bugzilla and each time I first tried my existing credentials and wondered why they didn't work :-)

My additional comment would be that when this is implemented to consider adding in support for OpenID [1] at the same time.

I know there are openid extensions for MediaWiki[2], django [3](looks like there are multiple packages) and there may be bugzilla patch [4] but the status isn't that clear.

The benefit I would see for this is one less barrier to attracting new contributors to the project. If a user is browsing the site, see's an error or wants to contribute then it would allow them to skip the account creation process and log in with their existing google, facebook, yahoo, microsoft etc account. Plus it's just one less account to manage!

Just a thought! Phil
