InfoCards live on LAMP
Posted by Pete Rowley under identity , security , InfoCards , user-centric identity , open source , identity 2.0Kim Cameron blogs INFOCARDS ON IDENTITYBLOG which is good news for open source because Kim recently converted his blog to WordPress on the LAMP stack. It is also good news for InfoCards and the identity meta-system since according to Kim’s own laws of identity the meta-system is required to be platform agnostic in order to ensure success.
If you are itching to try out InfoCards be advised that it appears that only the combination of Windows XP SP2, WinFX, and IE7.0 Beta 2 will work. Vista appears to have issues. Registration to the site is painless, present your InfoCard as you would to log in and you are sent an email with a link to confirm. That is it. Since this is an ongoing effort to integrate InfoCards with WordPress you should expect to see missing functionality, for example, having logged in you are still required to enter your name and email address in order to leave a comment.
I look forward to seeing the code.
