[edit] What can this extension do?
The JanrainEngage extension will add another means of logging in for the wiki it is installed on. Depending on which services you enable when you sign up for a JanrainEngage API key, this means that your wiki users can log in using credentials from Google, OpenID, Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, PayPal, etc. Credentials can be unlinked at any time by visiting the page Special:JanrainEngage. More than one set of credentials can be linked to the same wiki user account.
[edit] Usage
By simply plugging in your JanrainEngage API key and the proper include line to your LocalSettings.php, this extension will add a new box to the sign in page and a new Special:JanrainEngage page.
[edit] Download instructions

To install this MediaWiki extension, you will first have to go to janrain.com and get an API key for working with Janrain Engage. It's free! Just make sure to add your domain to the domains that it will accept tokens from under Your Domains->manage.

This is the API key the extension will use to get the users' identifiers when they log in via Janrain Engage.
