Hi,

I came into this forum few hours ago and I tried to log in KDE Bugs. It shows a big red frame telling me password and login were wrong.

Can you create one big database for all the KDE Webservice (bugs, forum etc.) ?
Because when we tried to report a bug, the inscription may discourage few people to continue.

Maybe we can extend and propose to create a KDE account for new user in the first boot (as a .mac account), not for e-mail but with an applet directly in KDE (why not in KDE Wallet) which log us directly into bugs.kde.org when we need to go into. It would be a profit of time for developers too.

Except, we may look like a giant big brother, and the unification would take very long time, it would be very great finally.

N.B. : I don't know if it is the right place to post here but it corresponds to the brainstorming (but for the web)

Yes I agree with it. Ironically or not you should report this idea on bug.kde.org to!

Agreed on it.
This is where an openid account comes into the game. Many of the kde sites already allow openid logins (techbase, userbase...), and the forum team also has a plugin for it on the todo.
Speaking for the forum, unfortunately there is some sort of leaking man power/time to do it fast. But it is not forgotten

I heard a lot of this openID, but I have no idea where I get one.
Well I suppose that google: openID would do the trick.

I let you (or other) do this because I don't have a KDE Bugs Account.....

Ithink too that we need an unique identifier for users on the forum, on bko, and on any other website related to KDE.

It could help us to make the community tighter. Actually, all these websites feel somehow dispersive...

The drupal.org community do it for a long time, and you can easily participate to discussion on a lot of different websites with the same "identity". So I think that OpenID it's something very confortable.

This (single sign-on, OpenID) has been in discussion for quite some time already. IIRC I attended a BoF about that at Akademy 2007.

It is currently most likely a matter of development resources, i.e. no developer having time to create the necessary "create KDE community account" wizard/assistant program.
