What about OpenID urls for login? We could have everyone in fedora-socialmedia 
provide their OpenID urls, which would be associated with the account. Then 
all they have to do is log in with that via the webui. Of course, as Fedora 
doesn't provide an OpenID login (hmmmm, RFE anyone? :) ) mechanism, this could 
be difficult (I currently am using my wordpress account as an OpenID provider, 
but want to move to providing OpenID for myself; what happens when I change 
providers? What about members without an openid provider?)
