Theoretically whoever runs the domain for your email address (since Persona uses email as your identifier). In order to make it work as a stop gap they also have more openid like idP's which they run a major one (that also offers a "bridge" to make things like Gmail work on Persona without needing to register for anything else). > > Oleg. > -- > Oleg Broytman http://phdru.name/ p...@phdru.name > Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN. > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/donald%40stufft.io ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
