I'm a little confused by the fact that there are two, incompatible, projects developing an OpenID module for Drupal. This one (which currently doesn't work in 4.8 or 5.x) and the one linked to from http://www.jirwin.net/?q=node/3, which does seem to work (but doesn't have some of the nice features this one advertises).

I've gone ahead and switched to the jirwin one, because it works (see http://drupal.org/node/144296), but the database tables (and everything else) are totally different, so I'm going to have to figure out how to port all my OpenID users.

I guess what I really want to know is: are the two projects aware of each other? Has there been any talk of collaboration? Any reason I should be using the one here (which feels more 'official' since it's on the Drupal site) rather than the other one?

Thanks,
Maj

The one hosted here is the 5.x version of the one that has recently been added for Drupal 6, so the upgrade path between the two will be far more seemless. The jirwin.net one is a wrapper for the JanRain PHP library.
