Should we expect oauth in GAE to support more openID providers in the future?

This isn't a programming question per se, but I'm hoping someone here will notice it and have an answer, I already tried the GAE group but got nothing.

I'm working on an app where the GAE component will be an oauth providor, and a mobile client will be the oauth consumer. For logging into the web app, I want to use openid, but right now b开发者_运维知识库uilt in support for oauth is limited to google as the openid providor, which sort of defeats the purpose of openid. This is ok for the time being if I can expect GAE's oauth implementation to eventually support other openid providors, but I have no idea if thats a reasonable expectation!

Thanks!

I think you're mixing things a bit. Google is not the only OpenId provider that you can use. This article shows examples of OpenId authentication using MySpace, Yahoo, AOL, MyOpenId.com and of course Google, but you can use any provider that you want, really.
