I'm also going to be using Open ID over at Wiki-Tools/Nadir-Point/GGPS.
I may have a small bit of code to contribute too, to extend what cases
the extension can handle.
I did have an issue when I tried the extension somewhere else. When I
signed up at a Open ID provider, for some reason I read the two name
fields as First Name, Last Name. However in reality they were actually
Full Name, Nickname. So when I logged into a wiki with Open ID I ended
up with a user named "Friesen" and was stuck with that even after I
changed my settings at my provider.
Does the extension have good functionality for disassociating an Open ID
from an account so that you can login again and fix the nickname? If it
does the Extension page on
MediaWiki.org has absolutely no information
on it, or even links to extended help files.
Also I'm looking to extend Open ID support for extra, special types of
data from local providers.
ie: A Wiki group hosting a number of wiki, which additionally hosts
their own local Open ID provider, and wants certain extra things to be
allowed from that Open ID provider.
I'm namely thinking of extending two things:
* Global Privileges: A group of wiki with their own Open ID provider can
store something like a "staff" flag in their local Open ID provider, and
set up their wiki so that it recognizes that staff flag as global. Of
course it only accepts those types of data from their own local Open ID
provider.
* Name limitation: Add a name restriction bonus for the users of the
local Open ID service. Basically so those who are dedicated enough to be
using the local Open ID provider can have their nickname reserved across
all wiki hosted by the same group. So, if I were to register "Dantman"
on that Open ID provider, then someone else wouldn't be able to take my
nickname on a wiki that group hosts even if I haven't logged in there
yet to create an account. (This is similar to how the current Single
Sign-On reserves nicknames I believe)

Can I ask why?
We may at some point, but it's a much lower priority atm, and
requires
more review to make sure we're happy with how it'll look and behave.
Obviously I'm happy to do more work on the MW OpenID extension as
needed.
Yay! *group hug* :)
