--- Comment #2 from Ryan Lane <rlane32@gmail.com> ---
Is this a request for OpenID as a provider, or as a consumer? The two bugs I
link to are for using openid as a provider, but not as a consumer.

We could probably add OpenID as a consumer right now. OpenID as a consumer is
honestly confusing for most end-users (technical or not) and also complicates
things, because if we can to use OpenID as a means to tie in other applications
into mediawiki's auth, then we have to consider people may want to log into
mediawiki as a consumer, then we'd need to somehow authenticate them to
mediawiki via OpenID, then to the other application via OpenID.
