As the last action on this module is (as far as I can see) almost a year ago it would be great to hear some statement regarding the future of the module.

There are several serious bugs which are not easy to fix, so I'd say there should be some notice to potential users that they are going to have to figure things out themselves.

OpenID is in core in Drupal 6, see: http://drupal.org/node/152893

Thanks for the note but OpenID won't fix everyones problems.
For example:
If you want to use http://drupal.org/project/multidomain you need Single Sign-On.
If you run a site and can't or don't want to change things.
...

Anyways I feel the status of a module should be visible.

If there are that many people using the module, then I'm sure it would get updated to Drupal 6.

Allow me to mention http://drupal.org/project/domain as an alternative to multidomain. Multidomain appears to also no longer be maintained.

Having said that, though, I'm in favour of single sign-on; it solves a slightly different set of problems than OpenID does.

Ok, I've got it. This module (single sign-on) gives a shared sign-on; if you've signed into one site in the set, you're signed in to all of them.

OpenID provides a single username/password, but you still have to log into each site separately. As someone pointed out, maybe this module should've been given a different name.

I need something like the solution this module provides, but seeing the many pending support requests and bugs, I kinda lost confidence in it. Now, I may be a bit dense but: Is anything keeping me from setting a login cookie for all of my domains whenever I login? Wouldn't that solve some of the problems described in different bugs for this module? (Ok, I can understand that that's not an option if you have 50 sites on one db, but if you have 5 sites it ought to work, right?)

Edit: I realize you can't set the cookies for all domains from one, but you can pull a javascript trick or a redirect circus to do it.

It's been a while since I worked with this module. Couldn't really tell you how I somehow got it working but if you find a way that could work for you as well as for others I am sure people would highly appreciate if you would document it.

This module actually has fewer open requests than many modules. Additionally, you'll notice that many of the bugs are related to the problem that this module keeps out bots, spiders, and the like; there are some fixes.

Also, it now has a semi-active maintainer.
