Ibid Wiki | Blueprints / User-attributes

Blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ibid/+spec/user-attributes

Ibid currently implements attributes attached to a user account. These attributes aren't currently used anywhere however. We also need some kind of private information for users (for example, a password for an email checking plugin), and this could be implemented as private attributes.

Possible uses for attributes

Usernames on sites such as last.fm and Twitter so that those plugins can find your username based on nick
Preferences for plugins such as Summon and Memo

Possible uses for private attributes

Passwords for a mail checking plugin

API Changes needed

Functions to look up and set these attributes
A function to look up an account based on a username / identity
