Add Persona Log in to Diaspora

Cu later Groove! You did a great job today.

Altruism - if some log in feature is added no one forces you to use it :) So voting should be based on whether this would make D* more better and accessible - not on personal usage patterns :)

@Jason Not to mention we already allow linking to Facebook accounts. As someone who uses both, I'd have to say Mozilla's privacy policy (and the way they treat your personal information in general) is much more acceptable than Facebook's.

As a general principle anything making it easier to join a D* pod should be done IMHO. Hell, why not even creating an account by using your Facebook or Google credentials.

But we have to remember to make sure in any option (Persona too) that the user should be able to switch their log in method to a pure D* account if for example they stop using the other service. I think this is critical.

"Altruism - if some log in feature is added no one forces you to use it :) So voting should be based on whether this would make D* more better and accessible - not on personal usage patterns :)" Aha, I have not voted or expressed something that would indicate on the contrary. I do not understand why you are telling me this, care to explain?

altruism, just referring to your comment on whether Persona log in possibility will endanger your data. So I assumed you we're considering your own data relating to this proposal.

Sorry if my assumption was wrong.

So, is someone who know how the actual log in works want to work with me on that ?

I never contribute nor look at the Diaspora code for the moment...

I think if we include it, we should be very clear about safety and privacy. Some people present are more open, which is fine, but I think we should be able to explain to users what the risks/benefits are for using this.

Disclosure is an honorable thing and it creates trust, and that's what will bring in more users. Not convenience.

That's why I proposed Persona. Mozilla is a foundation and I trust in it.

Flaburgan, it has to be clear to new users that he/she can trust Mozilla. Not everybody is involved in the Mozilla Foundation as you are :)
