choo choo down the train trac

Hmm, [http://trac.edgewall.org/ trac] is also quite nice – just a bit of a shame that it’s written in python (not that it’s python – more that everything else I have is php) – so have to learn another scripting language at some point.

Although, I’m pretty sure I can get something that might look very similar within a drupal context – but there’s probably already a project for just that over at [http://drupal.org/ drupal.org].

Will have to have a play at either looking at a drupal based site (and update the liquidwiki plugin) or writing my own if it comes to that!

Oh, and so I can save myself some brain cellls – it’s over at [https://dubdubdub.co.uk/projects/myproject/ here] for the short term.

OpenID

Mmm, [http://www.openidenabled.com OpenID] looks interesting, just enabled it within drupal as an openid consumer (rather than the server component – which i’ve just gone and created myself a openID account at [http://www.myopenid.com MyOpenID]).

Had to alter some of the default drupal roles around so that authenticated users don’t get lots of access that I don’t want to give them, but still – very interesting.

Question is, can drupal easily be an openid server too (and why not?) – but then again, why would you need it with it being distributed…

Now if only other people would understand this is what the interweb is about – of course the following would need to be thought about:-

# Trust – do you trust the openID server provider?
# Security – can you spoof the authentication token of someone else?
# Spam – is there anything to stop bots from flooding you?
