[GNU/consensus] Implementing WebID

[hellekin (GNU/consensus)]

Dear list members,

we're going to meet on IRC[0] this week-end to coordinate a hackathon to
implement WebID authentication[1] in several applications such as Elgg,
Joomla, Mediawiki, Wordpress, and whomever wants to join--the Ruby world
already has it via the foafssl-ruby[2], and Python's Django via
django-webid-auth[3].

Let's talk about when, and spread the word!

in case of Ruby I would like to look at implementing it in omniauth: https://github.com/intridea/omniauth
let's also don't forget javascript server side goodnes: https://github.com/magnetik/node-webid
and for joyful PHP coders you might want to check with:

happy hacking!

I'm having a Sockethub meetup/hackathon this weekend in Berlin (if anyone
is in town and interested - details here: http://lanyrd.com/2013/sockethub/).


Might be a good opportunity to add a WebID platform to Sockethub :)

*** Hey Pavlik! I guess you could reuse foafssl-ruby, it's pretty much
standalone, and comes as a Rack middleware. WebID is a simple protocol.

As I said, foafssl-ruby requires a long-due update to join the RDF
family[1], and a Gem release (so that it's a step closer to integration
in Debian). I suppose it could be renamed rdf-webid for the occasion.

P.S.: to the Ruby RDF group, it's a response to a call for cross-app
implementation hackathon of WebID, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/consensus/2013-05/msg00000.html

I can't participate in the hackathon, but if I can help with only of the Ruby RDF bits, please let me know.

Hi ! is there a public call for this? I'm thinking in other software
developers that aren't in this list, i.e. moodle developers.

*** Hi lupa,

thank you for your interest. No, there's no other public call than the
one you replied to. It's not a huge event, just something I'm going to
do anyway with Matias for our respective projects, following a recent
conversation we had.

As Elf Pavlik suggested, part of the deal is to look at the existing
code and reuse, or improve it. We should also take the opportunity to
improve existing documentation, and discuss the scope of that specific
authentication scheme.

Cheers,
