Probably not going to happen, unless you want to write an OpenID
module for OddMuse. (What other wikis even use OpenID?)

Of course, you don't need to log in at all to make changes.

CC BY-SA probably will happen, because of recent changes in the
Wikipedia community and GNU that make cross-licensing possible. See

The games themselves are under whatever licenses the designers choose,
of course.

we won't. ;)
