[gentoo-soc] identity.g.o OpenID provider -- weekly report #2

Hello, all.

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

Source code: https://github.com/mgorny/identity.gentoo.org


Week #2
=======

Status: a bit behind schedule


I've been having three exams this week and additional time-consuming
activities (also known as waiting in the corridor), so I wasn't able to
spend as much time working on the project as I wanted to. However, I'm
getting back on track already.


Tasks done:

- Some random cleanup in the application code.

- Integrated the OpenID code into the main application and merged with
  dastergon's UI changes.


Regressions:

- The 'login' view lacks the 'explanatory messages' it had in the OpenID
  app. I simply can't fit them anywhere with the current design. Those
  messages explained what site is asking the user to log in (give
  OpenID).


Plans for the upcoming week:

- Implement the proper (or at least semi-proper) error responses.

- Improve the 'login' view to have all the nice details.

- Support OpenID simple registration extension (providing user details).


I have decided to defer storing preferences in the database since
the preferences should include chosen items for simple registration
as well.
