Hey guys,

I hope this list is still a bit active.

Now that the Trac and the general websites aren't on the same server
anymore, there will be problems with user authentication and logging
in.

The most 'brutal' approach is completely separating the haiku account
and the trac account. This will, in a way, be a step back. I was
thinking, what are the opinions on OpenID here, and could it be a
user-friendly alternative to two logins?


OpenID is extremely easy to compromise so I wouldn't advise its use. I'd separate the account's. You could easily implement something on the server that would create/modify/delete an account on one system and replicate on the other. I think most users have browsers which manage their passwords so logging in twice is unlikely to be a real problem for users.
