[geeklog-devtalk] [Feature] Distributed Authentication

[Dirk Haun]

Mike,


>I'm in bonnie scotland again


Greetings to the folks in Edinburgh and Dunfermline, if you happen to be
in that area[1] ;-)



>But I'm more interested on whether or not it's a feature (in general terms)

>geeklog is interested in having


Yes.

With comment spam becoming more and more of a problem, many sites will
probably switch to blocking comments for anonymous users. On the other
hand, not everyone will want to sign up with every other site just to
leave a comment. So distributed authentication (or whatever you want to
call it) is an interesting feature for us.



>I wasn't aware it was using PEAR::XML_RPC


That's a relatively recent addition to CVS (last weekend or so ...).



>I use your blog plugin (registered), which uses usefulinc's

>libs so I just went that route as I thought it was most likely choice.


If I ever come around finishing the next version of the blog plugin,
it'll be based on PEAR::XML_RPC as well.

bye, Dirk
