      Centralizing logins across WordPress.org

      Your WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ account lets you do a lot of things: you can ask questions in the support forum, file a ticket on core trac, save favorite themes and plugins, update your public WordPress.org profile, and more (some of those links only work if you’re logged in). This is pretty nice, but all those different sites also mean having a lot of disparate login interfaces… So, in the spirit of providing a more unified authentication experience, we’ll soon be centralizing those logins into one place: login.wordpress.org.

      The metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. team has launched login.wordpress.org as a place where you can login today and, if everything looks good, I’ll be working over the next couple of weeks on redirecting logins across WordPress.org to this site. The theme is currently not much to look at, a placeholder of sort as most will only interact with the login form. It is, on the other hand, all open source, and tickets can be files against its own component.

      If you have any questions at all, please comment below.

          I seem to recall the WP_org login/profile info was also shared with BBPress.org and BuddyPress.org…

          Personally I learned that the hard way years ago after resetting my password on each for the umptenth time assuming they were different…

          Would it make sense to unify those logins as well so that it was obvious this was really a single login/account?

            This is the spirit of this indeed: a first step towards homogenizing the experience for all of the related parts.

          This is awesome!

          So what is the URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org for the SVNSVN Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system. Software developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS). WordPress core and the wordpress.org released code are all centrally managed through SVN. https://subversion.apache.org/. server for the code? I’d love to play with it.
