Adding OpenID support would be very useful also for us.

When I started setting up the Sugar Labs infrastructure, I was hoping to
use OpenID (and LDAP) to knit different web applications together under
a single sign-on solution,

However, OpenID was still too immature 1.5 years ago. Application
support was missing or incomplete, and there were plenty of weird
interoperability problems between OpenID providers and applications.

Now the question is: does the upstream Remora application, on which ASLO
is based, already support OpenID? If not, would they be interested in
adding it?
