+Ikiwiki in svn now has support for using [[../OpenID]], a decentralized
+authentication mechanism that allows you to have one login that you can use
+on a growing number of websites.
+
+Traditional password-based logins are still supported, but I'm considering
+switching at least ikiwiki.kitenet.net over to using only OpenID logins.
+That would mean blowing away all the currently registered users and
+their preferences. If you're active on this wiki, I suggest you log out and
+log back in, try out the OpenID signup process if you don't already have an
+OpenID, and see how OpenID works for you. And let me know your feelings about
+making such a switch.
