All our wikis can be used with local accounts. However, it may be useful to use an OpenID login if you have one.
OpenID is a mechanism to log into multiple site with a single user name and password.
An important place to check is openid.net where you may find that you already have an openID from one of the services listed.
Experiences:
- Gregor:
- As of 2008-07, flickr did not seem to work yet.
- Yahoo did, if you have an account, navigate to http://openid.yahoo.com/ and enable it for use as openID. In my case only a user-chosen name did work (https://me.yahoo.com/NAME_I_SPECIFIED). Yahoo only support OpenID 2.0, some sites may yet support older OpenID versions (but our wikis support 2.0).
- Google: Either create a blog for your account on blogger.com (login with your google id) or go to http://openid-provider.appspot.com/ and login once with your google id.
