OpenID is a decentralized authentication mechanism
that allows you to have one login that you can use on a growing number of
websites.
If you have an account with some of the larger web service providers,
you might already have an OpenID.

To sign in to this wiki using OpenID, just enter it in the OpenID field in the
signin form. You do not need to give this wiki a password or go through any
registration process when using OpenID.

It's also possible to make a page in the wiki usable as an OpenID url,
by delegating it to an openid server. Here's an example of how to do that:
\[[!meta openid="http://yourid.myopenid.com/"
       server="http://www.myopenid.com/server"]]
