I suspect that *if* a solid WebID addon for MediaWiki existed, the W3C
systems team would be tempted to enable it. 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
