I'm open to it if people want it. Would you have preferred to login with OpenID?

Only problem I see is it requires MediaWiki 1.21 and we're on 1.19. I think I stopped there because it required upgrading PHP, but we should do that and upgrade MediaWiki sometime anyway.

I am not even sure why he made this post on Nat's talk page. That said, I never found OpenID to be that easy to use (or to setup to use).

It would be easier for the end user and probably to setup to use one of the many "Login in X" systems. Where X is Twitter, Google, Facebook, or what have you.
