[rdfweb-dev] Single sign on and profiles

[Julian Bond]

I started getting interested again in Drupal's distributed 
authentication and wondered if it could be made more general for use 
elsewhere. This led to a couple of posts and a short thread on the 
decentralization list

Having thought about this a bit and talked to some other people, it 
seems there might be a useful idea here. Enough to justify a little 
standards work or at least discussion.

So in the time honoured fashion, here's the mailing list
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sim-ext-auth/

And a Wiki will be along shortly. Probably at
http://www.voidstar.com/sea/

The link with foaf and RDF is that the first thing you have to do 
immediately after registering at a new site is fill in a profile. It 
would be neat if there was a standard way of collecting key profile info 
from a personally run feed/file/website. Which of course, is actually 
your foaf file.
