Dude, that's awesome! I didn't know you were ready to accept sign-ups. Will try to mention it more often. :)
Man I told you about it like three times on IRC (and that was your response then, too)! :P It's still early-stage, but it works very well for plain authentication. Next step is two-factor auth.

Alright, promise: next month we'll blog about becoming an identity provider, and I'll highlight Persowna, the Drupal module, djc's persona-totp library, etc.

This is a NodeJS personal project that I use to host my identity: https://github.com/ozten/hostedpersona https://ozten.com/.well-known/browserid (a static website) delegates to https://hostedpersona.me/.well-known/browserid which I run on an ec2 instance. This clearly isn't as polished as aptitude install, but feel free to fork and play.
I wrote a service so you don't have to do any of that: https://persowna.net/ Just add the .well-known file to your site, and that's it. EDIT: Actually, I might just open-source this and keep the hosted version for people who want convenience.
Awesome job on the site!
I hope there will soon be a way to `apt-get install mozilla-persona` on a personal server. That would seriously help the deployment a really decentralized Persona.
Tell me more! Do you want Persona authentication on your website or do you want a deamon that is an identity provider for your personal domain? What language or platform would be ideal?
UPDATE:- There is a plugin like that http://wordpress.org/plugins/browserid/ . Too bad it doesn't work with Google Apps.

Side note, Your font differs on https://persowna.net/pricing/ and https://persowna.net/ for the logotype. Awesome job on the site!
EDIT: This is really odd, it's the exact same HTML/CSS, yet a different typeface. Weird.
EDIT 2: It would help if I had actually included the font in the header. Thanks again :)
I've seen a few demos of this. The developer story is great. Easy to integrate, no need to worry about screwing up storing passwords and you are not abdicating authentication to some evil or possibly evil in the future, company.

Not trying to troll or anything, but how do we know Mozilla won't be evil in the future? I'm sure you could find people who thought that about Google back in the day, they seem to now be routinely called out for questionable evils.
1) login.persona.org that takes care of authentication
2) a JavaScript shim that developers add to their sites to get the login button to work.
Persona is designed in such a way that reliance on Mozilla will be phased out as email providers take care of #1 and as browsers start to implement #2. As of now I think FireFox is the only browser that has #2 baked in.

AFAIK Right now there are two things that Mozilla controls. 1) login.persona.org that takes care of authentication 2) a JavaScript shim that developers add to their sites to get the login button to work. Persona is designed in such a way that reliance on Mozilla will be phased out as email providers take care of #1 and as browsers start to implement #2.

I'm pushing us to get our data formats stabilized in the next few months so that we can start building native extensions for browsers and get ourselves completely out of that loop.
It's worth thinking of Persona as the reference implementation of the BrowserID protocol. If we're successful, Persona as you know it automatically disappears as more and more domains and browsers add native support for the protocol. :)
