    Mozilla cutting support for Persona
    Mozilla has announced
    that it is "transitioning Persona to community ownership" — or, in other
    words, dropping development support for this identity management project.
    "For a variety of reasons, Persona has received less adoption than we
    were hoping for by this point. However, we do still believe that Persona
    offers a unique and useful alternative to passwords, and we intend to
    support it as such. Reducing the scope of Persona and stabilizing its core
    APIs over the last quarter has shown us that adding more features was not
    the way forward.    "
    (LWN reported on Persona in March
    2013).
