When I saw it's now possible to log in to SourceForge using your Google Account, I thought it's a nice way to open up our Trac wikis and bug trackers to a broader public than the current "account holders of c-l.netonly" policy. From what I can tell, Google offers OAuth/OpenID user authentication. As far as I can tell, there's an OpenID plugin available for Trac 0.11 (our version). Is that good enough for us?
As far as I'm aware, we have that policy to prevent spam bots from logging in and destroying wiki content. Would a relaxation be all right?
Bye,

Assuming it doesn't increase the spam load, I'd prefer using OpenID to creating a local trac account.
Curious whether OpenID accounts could be associated with local accounts as a bonus feature.
