Hi Kévin,
Although it is not a website team issue (you are right), since we are on
the subject: you may call me blind, but i don't see an openbox
OpenID-login opportunity at ask.fedoraproject.org, only clickable icons
of above mentioned services/sites. Probably my bad, but where do i enter
my fedora OpenID?

Website team (FAS) related:

I did noticed OpenID translationstrings while translating FAS indeed.
Logged in at FAS however I could not find any of those strings in the
'active' FAS website, and knowing FAS is still being optimized, assumed
it was a not yet activated feature.
Shouldn't the users fedoraproject OpenID-identity be mentioned at FAS
'Account Details'? Just to keep stupid people like me from making stupid
remarks?

regards
Richard
