mkowensIt looks like a much better solution than OpenID in general, but I was trying to think of a way that a user like myself who may have multiple auth options could "pre-select" which option to use.
mkowensOr, for example, what happens when you find multiple auth options: do you present the user with a choice or just assume they don't care which they use?
mkowensIn general, for example, I prefer to use Facebook as my identity provider except when the content is likely to be more valuable connected with Twitter or Github or whatever.
mkowensExample: Logging into StackOverflow would be best done using Github because the identity space is code-related there and my social graph on Github is much more attuned to the one that I would want to immediately be able to interact with on StackOverflow.
mkowensExample 2: Logging into Zynga.com would be best done using Facebook because the identity space is personal-related there and my social graph on Facebook is most likely to overlap with the concept of social games.
mkowensRight, but I would hope that as the indieauth system improves, it could delegate more data from the authentication provider used down to the site with which I just connected as mowens.com
aaronpkso the site that's trying to log you in doesn't even need to know which you used to authenticate. and indieauth.com doesn't even tell the site. (look at the sample response for indieauth.com/session)
mkowensI'm not saying it's a realistic need or desire, but it might be something to consider when working with the authentication preference concept, as it does create an interesting method for independently delegating data to a service without giving access to or revealing data you don't want shared with a service.
mkowensLately, I've also been spending most of my time looking at network graphs and the intersections of network graphs over time and location, so my mind is definitely on "how do I improve personal graph use" mode.
aaronpkunfortunately that would break Google profile URLs, since the redirected version is the URL that has a bunch of numbers in the string. Then I wouldn't know the Google account name
tantekhey - where should I link to in the indieauth github repository for the Ruby implementation of RelMeAuth? (i.e. not the whole indieauth.com website, but just want a Ruby developer would include if they wanted to do the authing themselves - e.g. what Ward wants to do with FedWiki)
aaronpkhow much of the oauth/relmeauth is handled by your php library? is it just things like parsing the web pages, or does it include twitter oauth client code as well?
tantekwe have some examples of things like to-do items on web pages already - e.g. when someone tweets a plancast tweet that they're "planning" something - that's like a to-do on a web page (tweet permalink page)
tantekprivate tips and limited count tips would be interesting - i.e. only things you can do, and only things a certain number of people can do - like tickets to an event.

mkowens Ah. Gotcha. I am good at breaking things.
