Is it possible, or is it being planned, to implement OpenID/Google authentication?

Dave,
Google+ authentication will be implemented in JFBConnect v5.1, which will be out in August. Later this year, we'll also be implementing Twitter authentication.

We will not be providing OpenID integration with JFBConnect and instead using the Google+ Oauth2 authentication API's. Just wanted to point that out in case OpenID is somehow a requirement for you.

I hope that helps, but if you have any questions or feedback, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks, this all sounds excellent. Google is most important, OpenID is not a requirement. So I look forward to v5.1 in August!

Dave,
Glad to hear that works for you. I know (from previous discussions) that you have a pretty regimented development, beta, and live site. We're planning a testing phase for the v5.1 release with a few users in early/mid August. If you're interested in testing the release candidate versions of JFBConnect, let us know and I'll get in touch when we have something available. It will be tested very thoroughly by that point, but we still like users that won't immediately be throwing it on a live site :)

Thanks,
Alex

Absolutely... let me know and I'll put it out on the beta site and tell everyone to "have at it!" :) Thanks, Alex.
