Guys, Gals, and Robots,
We had a brief issue with the log-in system. The fault was MediaWiki’s—apparently a PHP function was removed in their SVN for some undocumented reason, and for a reason neither Shane nor I can fathom. However, we have fixed MediaWiki’s FUBAR and the single user login should now be working, aside from the minor issue of the cookies. To work around that, please remember to check off the “Remember using this computer” before logging in!
Please shoot us any questions, comments, or concerns either via this blog or at our e-mail address.
Good hunting!

MediaWiki’s not to blame here: we were stupid enough to upgrade MW while not upgrading CentralAuth. The function had simply been moved to a different file and a different name.
Actually, MW kinda is…. They never noted the change in the SVN changelog. (A simple note that the function was integrated into the CentralAuth extension would have sufficed.) Shane had to dig through all the revisions just to find out who removed the function…
However, it’s all good now.
