+=== OpenID ===
+Contributors: willnorris, factoryjoe
+Tags: openid, authentication, login, comments
+Requires at least: 2.8
+Tested up to: 2.8.5
+Stable tag: 3.3.3
+
+Allows WordPress to provide and consumer OpenIDs for authentication of users and comments.
+
+== Description ==
+
+OpenID is an [open standard][] that allows users to authenticate to websites
+without having to create a new password. This plugin allows users to login to
+their local WordPress account using an OpenID, as well as enabling commenters
+to leave authenticated comments with OpenID. The plugin also includes an OpenID
+provider, enabling users to login to OpenID-enabled sites using their
+own personal WordPress account. [XRDS-Simple][] is required for the OpenID
+Provider and some features of the OpenID Consumer.
+
+Developer documention, which includes all of the public methods and hooks for
+integrating with and extending the plugin, can be found [here][dev-doc].
+
+[open standard]: http://openid.net/
+[XRDS-Simple]: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xrds-simple/
+[dev-doc]: http://wiki.diso-project.org/wordpress-openid-api
+
+== Installation ==
+
+This plugin follows the [standard WordPress installation method][]:
+
+1. Upload the `openid` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
+1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
+1. Configure the plugin through the 'OpenID' section of the 'Options' menu
+
+[standard WordPress installation method]: http://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Installing_Plugins
+
+
+== Frequently Asked Questions ==
+
+= Why do I get blank screens when I activate the plugin? =
+
+In some cases the plugin may have problems if not enough memory has been
+allocated to PHP. Try ensuring that the PHP memory\_limit is at least 8MB
+(limits of 64MB are not uncommon).
+
+= Why don't `https` OpenIDs work? =
+
+SSL certificate problems creep up when working with some OpenID providers
+(namely MyOpenID). This is typically due to an outdated CA cert bundle being
+used by libcurl. An explanation of the problem and a couple of solutions
+can be found [here][libcurl].
+
+[libcurl]: http://lists.openidenabled.com/pipermail/dev/2007-August/000784.html
+
+= Why do I get the error "Invalid openid.mode '<No mode set>'"? =
+
+There are actually a couple of reasons that can cause this, but it seems one of
+the more common causes is a conflict with certain mod_security rules. See
+[this blog post][ioni2] for instructions on how to resolve this issue.
+
+[ioni2]: http://ioni2.com/2009/wordpress-openid-login-failed-invalid-openid-mode-no-mode-set-solved-for-both-wordpress-and-drupal/
+
+
+= How do I use SSL for OpenID transactions? =
+
+First, be aware that this only works in WordPress 2.6 and up. Make sure you've
+turned on SSL in WordPress by [defining either of the following][wp-ssl]
+globals as "true" in your `wp-config.php` file:
+
+ - FORCE\_SSL\_LOGIN
+ - FORCE\_SSL\_ADMIN
+
+Then, also define the following global as "true" in your `wp-config.php` file:
+
+ - OPENID\_SSL
+
+Be aware that you will almost certainly have trouble with this if you are not
+using a certificate purchased from a well-known certificate authority.
+
+[wp-ssl]: http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL
+
+= How do I get help if I have a problem? =
+
+Please direct support questions to the "Plugins and Hacks" section of the
+[WordPress.org Support Forum][]. Just make sure and include the tag 'openid'
+so that I'll see your post. Additionally, you can file a bug
+report at <http://code.google.com/p/diso/issues/list>.

+[WordPress.org Support Forum]: http://wordpress.org/support/
+
+
+== Screenshots ==
+
+1. Commentors can use their OpenID when leaving a comment
+2. Users can login with their OpenID in place of a traditional username and password
+3. Users authorized to use the OpenID Provider can delegate to a different provider
+4. Users can add additional OpenIDs which they can use to login to WordPress
+5. Users authorized to use the OpenID Provider can monitor which sites they've logged in to
+
