Hello, all. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Short summary: I'm working on creating an OpenID provider service using |
| 4 |
Gentoo LDAP. It will provide a common login service for Gentoo |
| 5 |
developers to Gentoo sites and other OpenID-aware sites (e.g. bug |
| 6 |
trackers, blogs). |

Week #2 |
| 12 |
======= |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Status: a bit behind schedule |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I've been having three exams this week and additional time-consuming |
| 18 |
activities (also known as waiting in the corridor), so I wasn't able to |
| 19 |
spend as much time working on the project as I wanted to. However, I'm |
| 20 |
getting back on track already. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Tasks done: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
- Some random cleanup in the application code. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
- Integrated the OpenID code into the main application and merged with |
| 28 |
dastergon's UI changes. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Regressions: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
- The 'login' view lacks the 'explanatory messages' it had in the OpenID |
| 34 |
app. I simply can't fit them anywhere with the current design. Those |
| 35 |
messages explained what site is asking the user to log in (give |
| 36 |
OpenID). |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Plans for the upcoming week: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
- Implement the proper (or at least semi-proper) error responses. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
- Improve the 'login' view to have all the nice details. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
- Support OpenID simple registration extension (providing user details). |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I have decided to defer storing preferences in the database since |
| 49 |
the preferences should include chosen items for simple registration |
| 50 |
as well. |
