So Beanstalk just removed support for OpenID from their hosted subversion app:<div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.wildbit.com/blog/2009/05/26/what-happened-to-openid-support-in-beanstalk/">http://www.wildbit.com/blog/2009/05/26/what-happened-to-openid-support-in-beanstalk/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I find this both interesting and frustrating, since I used OpenID to sign in to my Beanstalk account and now can't remember my username. Heh, go figure.</div><div><br></div><div>Still, it points out that the lack of desktop/API solution for OpenID as a *baked* solution could really hurt the protocol as OpenID seeps into more applications. I mean, Beanstalk is still one application, but the fact that we as a community haven't articulated how to use OpenID with SVN (or built the technical machinery to make that easy) ultimately impacts adoption.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, thought it was worth bringing up here, since it's something I hadn't really seen before.</div><div><br></div><div>Chris<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Chris Messina<br>Open Web Advocate<br><br>
