That's certainly a bonus.

Typo (just to be pedantic ;-), it's OpenID 1.1 of course.

And here I have to be pedantic: GPL version 2, please. With the "or (at
your option) any later version" clause. That's the entire point of the
project.

That's a bit vague. The Consumer part shouldn't really need MySQL, just
a few API calls (see current implementation in public_html/users.php).
The Provider part needs a concept first, e.g. a nice and memorable URL
to use as the OpenID. Some more thoughts on that part would be welcome.

You may want to take a page out of Evgeniy's book and consider a test-
driven approach. In any case, testing should happen much earlier.

The times from the schedule sound about right otherwise.

Looking forward to the next revision :-)

bye, Dirk
