Sounds like the jabber version of MSN passport *shudder*

Is anyone currently maintaining Jogger (jogger.jabber.org) or working on
other like-minded systems?  I'd like to start some work on a weblogging
/ content-management-system that integrates an XMPP component backend w/
a web-based front-end, but figured I'd ask around first to avoid
duplicate effort.

I'd be willing to lead/coordinate some activity here, if there's
interest in building things that blur the line between XMPP/Jabber
systems and the web.

ps- Has anyone investigated using the Jabber network as a "behind the
scenes" distributed identification system?  I envision a user going to a
website, providing their JID, the website looks up the user's "xmpp-sso"
provider (or whatever) via Jabber, submits a request to that service,
the user auth's the request on THEIR provider site (not the foreign
site), their provider gets back to the website, and they've been logged
in w/out setting up an account or providing a password.  This could be
useful for pretty much any site that requires user identification,
removing the need for dozens (hundreds?) of accounts across the web for
each user.  Maybe even use vCard's or other protocol bits to discover
things about the user w/out the user needing to fill in form after form.
Does that make sense, or should I write a fuller description?
