That said I obviously can't make any commitments or predictions, it's in their (overworked) hands. But first things first --- that plugin doesn't exist, AFAIK. The most natural starting point might be to take http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OpenID and re-do it for WebID. The OpenID addon should exercise most of the main relevant MediaWiki APIs... Anyone got time to take a look at that? cheers, Dan
