make a suggestion on uservoice: http://oxwall.uservoice.com/forums/13756-ideas-for-oxwall in the meantime this is a custom code modification

Has there been any progress on implimenting OpenID? I would have thought that this would be a natural part of Oxwall seeing as it is so open source.

James Geddes, the OpenID it is very interesting idea.
Unfortunately, I can't affect our developer and product designer teams about implementation of new functionality, because I'm just a supporter.
For this goals we use our suggest board to show our product designers what features are the most essential.
It would be better if you make a suggestion on uservoice: http://oxwall.uservoice.com/forums/13756-ideas-for-oxwall.

I would assume that Karthi made that suggestion back in July, right? In any case, with oxwall being an open source project, I would have thought that it would seek to support open standards without needing to be prompted.

James Geddes, your feedback and suggestions are very important to our team. Obviously, there are a lot of things still should be done: Dev documentation, Store improvements, Plugin updates for review, Keeping Oxwall up to date with the new trends and features, etc. This is what we are thinking about constantly within the small team. And this is what we are doing, not so fast, as somebody would like. But we move forward and going improve each point.   

Also sometimes it helps the team for people to contribute not only to the forum but cold hard cash for example paying the $50 to remove the attribution goes a long way to paying for overtime or project time.  James this is not about you specifically this is a general comment that seemed to apply here.  

There are alot of people i see it all the time that ask for more and more and more and give nothing back.  In that case then it will take more time to get things done.  The people that volunteer here to help many times save team members time which can be devoted to getting things done.  :)

I agree Dave, and I have been looking through the forum for questions that I can answer and will certainly donate the $50 once our site is ready.
