I would like to make it easy to add as one of available login options, and for that have 'strategies' available for many frameworks like:
node.js - passport, everyauth
rails - omniauth
django - allauth
as well as modules/plugins for drupal/wordpress/elgg etc.

than also helping with enabling it in popular open platforms like statusnet, diaspora and maybe others listed in: http://libreprojects.net/ so here documentation on implementing webid will become very important!

since I have mostly work with ruby, possibly could at some point help in diaspora, rstatus, redmine/bettermeans, shapado and maybe some other listed at: http://www.opensourcerails.com/ most likely trying to at the same time enable in them WebID, BrowserID and OpenID, but using all/every/ominauth like libraries should make it relatively easy and extensible...
